Grevillea

Grevillea

A deep pink Grevillea macro, taken in Australia. The Grevillea is a member of the Proteas family. The flowers fascinated me and have tendrils, which look like stamens, extending from the base of the petals.

Thanks for looking. :)

Many thanks to you ALL for the lovely comments.

Yes, it's definitely unusual for you not to have seen one of these blooms Chriss!

I think their are yellow varieties Alandra and I seem to remember it was shrub like.

Red spiders Brian...."YUK!"

Thanks for taking the time to view. :)

unique flower, have heard of grevillea, but have never seen one. Lovely colour, - do they grow in different colours, or is this red the only type? Is it a shrub? lovely, whatever it is.
