29 Types of Exotic Flowers
Melaleuca
Melaleuca is also called paperbarks, honey-myrtles, or tea trees. It belongs to the myrtle family and ranges in size from small shrubs to full-blown trees growing up to 115 feet tall. Their flowers cluster in groups with spikes that look like a bush.
While they’re commonly grown for their tea-tree oil, they’re also grown in home gardens for their impressive and unique blossoms. They’re well adapted to swamps, bogs, sandy soils, and along the edges of saltpans. Many varieties are threatened by the clearing of swamps, as well as myrtle rust, while others are thriving and continue to bloom in several areas.
