SB Whispering Dawn is the soft-spoken one, which of course makes her slightly suspicious.

Her blooms carry creamy white petals, tender pink blush and warm golden embers through the centre, like first light deciding to flirt.

Steve’s collection notes give her the hush of early morning, and the flower earns it: gentle, warm and quietly luminous.

There is no heavy theatre here, just a clean bloom with enough blush to make innocence look carefully rehearsed.

SB Whispering Dawn is the sort of cultivar that lowers the volume and still gets noticed.

SB Whispering Dawn is not available tonight. If she belongs on your private wish list, register interest and Steve can see the demand before the next release.

Steve + Brock original

Raised here.Chosen here.

The SB prefix is personal: Steve and Brock raised this seedling at home, watched it prove itself in the collection and kept the name in the family record.

She is not just another import or label in the drawer. She is one of ours: selected, photographed and proudly carried into The Black Book by father and son.

Her dossier

SB Whispering Dawn, on the record.

The personality stays playful. The plant record stays precise—separating what is documented, what has been observed in this collection and what still needs confirmation. Every record is maintained by Steve as part of his private Perth collection.

Register the temptation

The private register is an expression of interest, not a commitment to buy. It helps Steve understand which cultivar should be encouraged to make a future appearance.

Her name, written in metal

She deserves better than a fading marker.

I label every plant in my collection with tags made by my son Brock at BrockMark. He permanently laser-engraves them into weatherproof anodised aluminium, finishes each one with a stainless-steel wire loop and checks the spelling before the plants are left to defend their own identities.

If your own collection has started answering to “that pink one near the fence”, Brock can restore order.

Before she leaves the house

Quarantine rules apply.

Movement restrictions apply across the Perth metropolitan Quarantine Area. Before collection or delivery is arranged, the destination address and the current Management or Containment Zone rules must be checked using WA’s official polyphagous shot-hole borer guidance and interactive map.

SB Whispering Dawn will only be supplied where movement is permitted under the requirements in force at the time. The image shown here is a supplied reference only; the current official map and Quarantine Area Notice are the authority.
