Cinnamon Myrtle...

Cinnamon Myrtle flowers would have to be some of the most dainty flowers of the Australian natives. 
I have just transplanted mine from a large pot, into the earth and she's thanked me with a mass of her delicate blooms.
 The flowers will be followed by small berries.
 I have selected a partly shady position in the garden for this beauty.

The leaves can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen such as added to savory dishes or in baking and as a herbal tea.
Crushed leaves can be applied on the skin as an insect repellent, the aromatic cinnamon scent sends insects buzzing in the opposite direction...
