Ah, that helped a lot...its common name is Wax Flower and we use it a lot in floral arrangements!!! It's botanical name is Chamelaucium uncinatum and is very common in Western Australia!

Thank you so much FG. I did look at that one on the web, and although it doesn't really look much like the bush I have, I'm sure you must be close. Either that or the Bridal Wreath.

The one you mentioned above is native to Western Australia and the sites I checked said that it grew there and north of Sydney in the humidity, where-as Tasmania (the southern state where I live) is the ice, frost and winter snow state of Oz.

Thanks so much for taking the time to try and name it for me. I really appreciate the time you put into it.

That last picture looks exactly like the Wax Flower that we use in our floral arrangements so I am sure that it must be some variety of that shrub. The flower and stems and leaves look exactly like it.

The color that you described is the same as well.

If you do a google search for Wax Flower and click on images you will find some pretty good pictures that look almost exactly the same.

Good luck! Happy to help you out!
