I grew several of these Tipuana Tipu trees - from seed collected from shopping centre carpark
They're a Legume (like Wattles & my Carob tree) - so very good for improving Nitrogen levels in soil.
Unfortunately mine never made it to this size (photo), they're long gone...

I have several of these (backyard, & in pots).
Lantana montevidensis - it's the only Groundcover that that survivived in my garden.
Not a weed in WA (does not generally self-seed), & can still be bought from nurseries.

Yellow Spreader Lantana (Hybrid montevidensis/ camara).
Very heat & drought-resistant, very tough.
It's sterile - produces no seed (not invasive).
The councils used to plant them all over the Traffic islands & Footpaths (here in WA).
I don't think they are sold anymore (not available).
Mine is still going Healthy & Strong....

Woolly Bush (Adenanthos sericeum) - from south-west WA.
Mine is very healthy (3m wide, 2m high).
Very soft, fluffy leaves.
I just wish it would flower more.
The flowers are tiny Red flowers, hidden between the leaves (not very visible).

Oh @Shaz51 I hope it gets healthier & happier (more flowers).
My 2 Bottlebrushes died (viminalis).
This one is my only survivor - it's Callistemon King's Park Special (hybrid).
It's happy out by my Letterbox (front).

Yes well there are No Flowers on my Bottlebrush (at the moment) @Shaz51 Absolutely None.
It's looking healthy.
But Bottlebrushes only flower once (Spring) here generally, then they are bare until next year.
It's too hot & dry here.

I have a very small one of these -
Queensland Umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophilla) - which I grew from seed myself, 16 years ago.
