Bingo!! I did a Google images search for Chamelaucium uncinatum and
Geraldton Waxflower and there it was, right on the money. Thank you so
much, I'm thrilled!

Hello,

I received a valentines bouquet with pink-trimmed white roses
along
with another type of flower which I would love to identify.
Here is a
description of the flower:

1) The small flowers are in clusters of various size, each
cluster has
its own stem. Each flower is smaller than a dime.

2) The flowers are white with a slight pinkish hue here and
there, the
closed bud of the flower is mauve/purplish

3) Each flower has 5 petals with a single stamen (?) in the very
center
surrounded by a cirle of little seeds (circle of seeds line the
bottom
of the petal)

4) The center of the flower is deep like a cup and could hold a
drop or
two of water

5) The flowers have a mellow yet intoxicating fragrance

6) The flowers are sturdy. The roses are all wilted already,
but these
flowers are still in great shape

7) The leaves on the stems of these flowers are like little
spears,
similar to a rosemary leaf. The most interesting thing about
the
leaves is that they give off a strong fragrance when crushed,
almost
like a kaffir lime or lemongrass aroma.

If anyone here is familiar with this flower I would love to know
what
it is so I can plant it in my garden.

Thanks for your help!
