The grevillea shrubs along our service road have been flowering for awhile. I took my Nikon D3000 with me a few days ago, hoping to be treated to the same bird display from the previous morning – 3 restless flycatchers, 1 willy wagtail, 1 thrush, several yellow thornbills and a small flock of striated pardalotes were all in one small section of bushland when I had no camera at all, not even the phone!
Going by the look of the leaves, I’m guessing these are a variety of Grevillea rosmarinifolia.
Thanks for looking.
Always liked Grevillea’s, when I was a little kid always tried to unfurl the flowers without breaking them, of course that never worked.

I am unfamiliar with grevillea shrubs. They are beautiful. Do the flowers smell good?

They are an Australian native plant. You know, I’ve never tried smelling them! Nothing too obvious. Since there are no bees in the cold I shall shove my nose in a blossom and report back. 🙂
