Staying with tubular flowers, popular with nectar seeking honeyeaters, Eremophila maculata, and the very beautiful Eremophila glabra “Yanna Road”.
Moving to the Proteaceae, Grevillea Robyn Gordon was at the forefront of the G. banksii x bipinnatifida hybrids that have become so popular, and it is still one of the best.
It was closely followed by many others with the same parentage,
Grevillea “Superb”
Grevillea “Soopa Doopa”.
A prostrate form of Grevillea lanigera, “Tamboritha”.
Autumn flowering Hakeas, Burrendong Beauty, and Hakea lissocarpha, pink form. The former has an interesting history that can be found here.
