Grevillea 'Granya Glory'
This cultivar has larger and broader leaves than either parent
and the normally grey/green foliage has an attractive plum/green colour for
several months. The inflorescences and individual flowers are larger and
showier than either parent. It grows to 0.4 by 1.0m and is a medium dense
shrub. Flowers August to February. The inflorescences are approx. 4 by 4cm
and are rose red and cream.
Diagnosis:
Larger and broader leaves and larger inflorescences than either
of its parents.

margins, glabrous above except for young leaves which have some silky hairs
at the base and with a covering of appressed silky hairs below; the stems
are grey hairy; the flowers are in spider like racemes approximately 60mm
across, terminal on short branches; the perianth is red covered with white
and pale brown hairs on the outside, silky hairy within; pedicels are

approximately 30mm long, dark red, glabrous.
Diagnosis:

a short petiole becoming glabrous above, silky hairy below, apex with a
small point; racemes to 70mm across, flowers pink to deep red, hairy
outside, segments recurved, style to 30mm long, pink to deep red in colour;
main flowering time is winter and spring.

petiole, becoming glabrous above, silky hairy below, apex with a pungent
point; racemes to 60mm across, flowers red, hairy outside, segments
recurved; style to 30mm long, deep red in colour; flowering time is winter
and spring.

Grevillea 'Sid Reynolds'
A dense, rounded shrub 2-2.5m high and wide with dull
grey-brown bark on trunk and branches, branchlets with an appressed silvery
indumentum. Leaves entire, linear-lanceolate 40-67mm long, 2-3mm wide,
margins shortly revolute. Upper surface glabrous green, lower surface with
a fine appressed silvery indumentum. Venation not prominent except for
midvein, particularly on lower surface. Flowers in erect on occasionally
decurved terminal inflorescences, on short lateral branchlets or
occasionally axillary, within the foliage; simple or occasionally branched,
c. 3cm long, 5cm wide. Floral branches covered in matted white hairs.
Perianth with scattered appressed white hairs outside, glabrous inside
except for a dense heard just before the curve of the limb; 7-8mm long,
2-3mm wide. Pistil 23-26mm long, glabrous, stipe 4-5mm long,
pollen-presenter lateral.
Diagnosis:
Characterised by the large, dense rounded habit, and profuse
pale red and pink flowers with a yellow limb. Differs from the parent G.
pinaster in its larger, more robust habit, its longer and broader leaves
(to 67mm long x 3mm wide) and its far more profuse and larger
inflorescences. (Other parent uncertain but possibly G. commutata.)
Grevillea 'Winter Sparkles'
A tall, moderately dense, pyramidal shrub 5-6 m tall and 2-2.5 m wide, usually with one main erect stem. Bark grey, branchlets grey to silver grey with appressed fine silky hairs. Leaves deeply pinnate (14-)20-25 cm long, (7-)11-18 cm wide with linear lobes (5-) 10-15 cm long.
Upper surface glabrous, green, lower surface silvery white due to fine silky appressed white hairs. Venation inconspicuous except for mid-vein.
Flowers June - September in erect terminal secund inflorescences, becoming sub-cylindrical at anthesis; 12-15 cm long, 4-6 cm wide. Floral rachis covered with a moderately dense indumentum of short, spreading white hairs.
Bracts linear to lanceolate, noticeable orange-yellow on inner surface, deciduous at anthesis. Perianth with an open matted indumentum outside and glabrous inside, 5 mm long, 4 mm wide. Pistil 27mm long, ovary sessile, densely hairy with appressed long silky white hairs, style glabrous, pollen presenter slightly lateral, stigma prominent.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Winter Sparkles' has denser foliage than G. pteridifolia and G. 'Honey Gem' , and is taller than G. banksii. The flower colour is slightly more orange than G. 'Sandra Gordon'.
Grevillea 'Woori Wanderer'
This is a prostrate form spreading to 2.5m. The foliage is
dense, new growth is reddish in colour. The flowers are red. Flowering is
October /December and again in March.
Diagnosis:
The leaf shape is the same as G.laurifolia and in the same
proportions while it also retains the reddish new growth of that species.
However, ' Woori Wanderer' also has foliage similar to G. x gaudichaudi
interspersed among the laurifolia-like leaves.
Grevillea 'Wakiti Gem'
This cultivar is a prostrate plant up to 2.5m across. Along with this compact habit it is very dense. The leaves are deeply divided and reminiscent of G. x gaudichaudii. Each leaf lobe ends in a pungent point. The inflorescences are terminal and between 4 and 6cm long and are a claret
colour. The flowering season is during the spring and summer months.
Diagnosis:
While similar in both foliage and flower to G. x gaudichaudii, Grevillea 'Wakiti Gem' does not have long, trailing stems. The plant is very compact and dense and only 1.5m across. Grevillea 'Green Glow', a cultivar produced from the same hybrid cross, differs in that it is a low
spreading shrub to 1m tall with very bright green foliage.
Lomandra confertifolia 'Silver Grace'
A clumping grass-like perennial with blue-grey arching leaves. Fragrant yellow flowers on spikes.
Lomandra longifolia 'Ll164'
Plant: growth habit, dense semi-upright shrub to 1m in diameter with narrow green leaves, basal sheath is light brown and flower colour is grey brown.
Comparitor: Lomandra longifolia 'LM300'
Diagnosis: Lomandra 'LM300' - basal sheath: colour dark brown; flower: colour of peduncle RHS 166A; Leaf: width (mm): 4mm
Lomandra longifolia 'Ll164' - basal sheath: colour light brown; flower: colour of peduncle RHS 144D-145C; Leaf: width (mm): 5.5mm
Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Bill Winter'
Upright, bushy, evergreen small tree. Leaves: opposite, trifoliate, flat, waxy. Leaflets: length medium (mean 61.97mm), width medium (mean 15.96mm), shape elliptic, apex acute (point rounded), base oblique-attenuate, upper surface dark green, lower surface lighter green, margin serrated, colour of new growth orange-red with a green midrib. Flowers: small, creamy white in terminal panicles. Sepals: 4-5 broadly obovate, sepal-circle mean diameter 19.65mm, white at first flower (Nov), ripening (mid Dec) to orange-red (RHS 180B) on inside of sepal and orange-red.
Selected for its striking, dark green foliage, and superior fruit size, colour and density
Grevillea 'Lyn Parry'
This cultivar grows to ca. 1.3m tall by 1m across. The leaves
are from 15mm to 35mm long, occasional silky hairs above and densely silky
tomentose below. The leaves are lanceolate with an apiculate apex. The leaf
margins are rolled under. The older branches have a very scattered covering
of small, silky hairs while the younger branchlets are densely covered with
rusty brown hairs. The peduncles and buds are covered in appressed silky
hairs that are rusty reddish in colour. The perianth is approximately 6mm
long and a dull pink in colour. The style is a dull red. The ovary and
inside of the perianth are covered with dense, long, silky hairs. The
flower racemes are terminal and umbel-like. The cultivar bears occasional
flowers all year with the main flowering period being spring.
Diagnosis:
The hybrid origin of this cultivar is very obvious upon closer
examination.
