Grevillea

The Grevillea is a popular Australian native flower in Australian gardens. It is popular for the unusual flowers that bloom, and for the fact that the tree is popular with birds and butterflies.

On the left is a close up view of the strange flower, and the leaves.

The Grevillea

On my walk from one end of Lamb Island to the other, (I walk most mornings to get the daily paper), I found quite a number of beautiful flowers and this Grevillea is just one of them.

They are native to Austalia, and our native birds just love them, sucking out the insects and nectar from the flowers. There are quite a range of Grevillea's, and much information about them on the Internet.
