First flowers out on the Grevillea 'Cupid's Dream' - popular with the local grass-darts. With classic hybrids like 'Pink Surprise' / 'Misty Pink' difficult to find in nurseries these days 'Cupid's Dream' could become an excellent alternative with attractive flowers & foliage #grevilleas #ozplants
I spotted these lovely #grevilleas on a pathway this morning. I walked a bit later & waited for the rain to stop. Have a lovely day wherever you are & whatever you’re doing today! 🌧🌞🌸👋🏽😀
