This one grew well above my head, amongst a bordering shrubbery of native plants down at the local wetland. You can be sure the rainbow-lorikeets are into the nectar stamens of an early morning.

Przepiękny kształt kwiatu i kolor. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower shape and color. Yours.
you have such fabulous plants there! or perhaps its because you've got summer while we're very bland here! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see... your lovely flowers have really warmed me up. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and beautiful flower!
ReplyDeleteLove to see blue sky, here the sky is grey.
Have a beautiful day.
Gorgeous blooms and a lovely blue sky. It looks like a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI love how the Grevillea brings out the native birds. Shame it also brings outs the noisy miners which are the bane of my life down here, with their sudden darts to ward off each and every intruder. Not a sparrow or a finch in sight anymore down here in the suburbs. Just noisy and common miners/minors/mynhahs and currawongs, and ibis.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of a fascinating flower!
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! We are having snow here in Salem, Oregon at our house...does not happen often!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

So gorgeous. I envy you with your gorgeous birds and wildlife. Please show a pic with the Lori's breakfasting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful flower and lovely against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of the flower and the blue sky.

These are gorgeous flowers Carole!
ReplyDeleteThat is a real beauty with a full flowerhead unlike most Grevilleas that are more one sided.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly wonderful tree/shrub!!! Beautiful flowers!!! I wonder if it would grow here...
ReplyDeleteVery unique flowers!

Not sure where you're living Judy but from your recent blog posts I see lots of 'frost'. Grevilleas wouldn't take kindly to the intense cold.
ReplyDeleteBeaUtiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteGrevilleas are always lovely with those curling stamens, whatever species they are. I miss them, because we don't have them here.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular blooms and photos!!
ReplyDeleteMmm...love those spiky-yet-soft looking flowers! Beautiful colors too!
