it appears to be Grevillea Rosmarinifolia – rosy pink and cream. There is an astounding range, I was beginning to think it wasn’t a grevillea after all, but a type of pea. So may different flower and leaf shapes. But this one has the leaves and the flower description of Grevillea Rosmarinifolia. There is a dwarf variety too, and they come in different colours. 🙂
Hi Kayti, it is a local native.
