Hi Ciaran. The leaves aren't right for Calytrix tetragona; can you please correct the location.

Hi Michael, the flowers don't look quite right either, so definitely not Calytrix tetragona. I'm wondering if it might be a Leionema sp, although it doesn't seem to match any of the local species so if that's the case it's been planted. I've corrected the location, it's close by, but not definitely not in the middle of the road!! :).
