You captured the delicate color so beautifully. The background really makes the flower stand out. Well done.

Lisa, thanks!! This was taken at Calloway Gardens in Southwestern Georgia when we were there this past June.. I live in Texas and have never seen one here, but there were tons of flowers at Calloways that I had not seen before.. One of these days I plan to go back and spend several days there!! I'm glad to have a name for this one!!

have heard of Grevillea, not sure how to spell it, but have never seen one growing in our area. I bet our hummingbirds would also love those, with the nectar as you mentioned.

Hi Guys this is what we call in Australia a gravillia. It is a very good bird attracting flower as it has nectar tucked away in it, our honey eaters and our lorikeets love it for the nectar.
