[Category 1] Grevillea australis

Post by Will_IslandBonsai »

Of all the amazingly floral Grevilleas that originate on the mainland, Tasmania can offer only one species!
Grevillea australis has a small cream flower that is too small to be polllinated by birds! That job is left to our tiny native bees.
Luckily it has one redeeming feature.........a beautiful scent!

It has been in training for about three years.
