Grevillea 'Sunset Splendour'
Shrub 3-4m tall, spreading to 2-3 m. Flowering is almost
throughout the year. The flowers are deep burnt orange in colour. The
foliage open and is grey-green in colour. Leaves are pinnately divided into
c.10-18 linear lanceolate sub-opposite lobes c.2-4 mm wide, 60-110mm long;
overall leaf length c.23-30 cm; upper surface dull green with a more or
less sparse covering of appressed white hairs; lower surface with an
indumentum of dense white appressed hairs. Flowers occur in terminal,
crowded cylindrical inflorescences c.9-16 cm long; perianth c.11-12mm long,
3-4 mm wide, outer surface with an open indumentum of wavy white hairs,
inner surface smooth and glabrous; limb bright yellow with similar
indumentum to perianth. Pistil 33-36 mm long; ovary sessile, covered in
dense white semi-appressed hairs; nectary prominent, bright yellow, with a
margin of deeply incised triangular lobes; style glabrous, shortly curved
above the small pollen presenter
Diagnosis:
The colour of the inflorescence is unique, being a distinct
burnt orange.
Grevillea 'Ladelle'
Shrub to 5m, spreading to 4m. Flowering is almost continuous
throughout the year. Flowers occur in terminal crowded cylindrical
inflorescences c. 11-15cm long x 5cm diameter; perianth 10mm long x 3-4mm
wide, outer surface has a moderately dense indumentum of appressed and
erect wavy white hairs, subduing the flower colour. The inner surface is
smooth and glabrous. The limb is covered in dense, erect wavy white hairs.
The pistil is 32-38mm long; ovary sessile, covered in dense flattened white
hairs; nectary prominent, burgundy in colour, with a prominently scalloped
margin; style glabrous with a prominent hoof-like pollen- presenter. The
foliage is open and is grey-green in colour. Leaves are pinnately divided
into c.7-9 sub-opposite lobes; lobes linear -lanceolate c. 4-9mm wide,
40-8-mm long; overall leaf length c.11-17cm. Young leaves are grey-green on
upper surface with an indumentum of semi-appressed white hairs most of
which are shed on maturity. Mature leaves are dark green on the upper
surface. The lower surface has a dense appressed indumentum of silvery
white hairs.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parent Grevillea 'Misty
Pink' by the deeper colour of the flowers. Its closest comparator is
Grevillea 'Sylvia' which is also a much paler pink.
Grevillea 'Flame 'n Beauty'
A dense spreading, shrub 0.6-1 m high 1.5-2 m wide. Branchlets
ascending, round in cross-section, slender, densely white-velvety. Leaves
2-4.5 cm long, 1.5-4.5 cm wide, obovate in outline, secund, 3–5-sect,
usually with trisect secondary division; primary leaf lobes 3-5, ultimate
lobes 0.5-2 cm long, 1-1.5 mm wide, stiff, pungent, upper surface
grey-green, texture leathery. Flowers:
buds whitish-green, perianth pale
yellow outside ageing white, the inner tepals reddish above the curve; the
limb creamy-white; style and style-end red; pollen-presenter whitish-pink.
The overall appearance of the flower is a peach colour aging to pink.
Flowering occurs from May through to December.
Diagnosis:
G. asparagoides differs in its open, cylindrical inflorescences
and perianths up to 5 mm wide and with a dense indumentum of glandular
hairs. G. calliantha has leaves to 7.5 cm long with 5-7 lobes, longer
floral bracts (>2 mm long) and perianths lacking glandular hairs. Flower
colour is a blend of both parents.
Similar hybrids:
Grevillea ‘Little Jessie’ which differs in its leaves
lacking secondary division.
Grevillea 'Simply Sarah'
A spreading shrub to 2m x 1.8 m wide, with angular branchlets
covered in dense spreading fawn hairs. Leaves to c. 35 cm ( mean 25 cm)
long, 5 - 10 cm wide; pinnately divided into 13 - 19 linear lanceolate
lobes 3 - 6 cm long, 4- 6 mm wide. Upper surface dark green with a sparse
covering of short curled hairs. Lower surface white with dense appressed
white hairs. Venation of lower surface a midvein to each lobe.
Conflorescence a showy, erect, burgundy toothbrush, appearing both
terminally and axillary on short peduncles. Floral rachis 8 - 9 cm long.
Flowers with a dark burgundy perianth, made pale by a dense covering of
appressed white hairs; 8 mm long, 4 mm wide. Limb rounded and fully
revolute, covered in dense white hairs. Pistil 25 mm long, mauve red, with
a hairy stipitate ovary. Fruits are covered in appressed silver hairs with
attractive purple stripes. Seeds are sterile. Flowers all year.
Diagnosis:
A larger shrub than G. beadleana with longer more finely divided
leaves and paler flowers. Foliage is pinnately divided whereas it is
dentate in G.longifolia.
Hakea 'Kincora'
Hakea 'Kincora' grows into an erect shrub 2 m tall by 2 m
across. Branches have an erect, arching habit. Leaves are linear, 95mm long
by 12mm wide, acuminate. Racemes are globular, approximately 50mm by 50mm
in size, clustered along the stems, and profuse. Styles are creamy white,
perianth are bright pink. Fruit have not been observed. The main flowering
period is from May to July.
Diagnosis:
Hakea 'Kincora' is similar to Hakea 'Burrendong Beauty' but can
be distinguished by its erect habit, and linear leaves.
