Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Golden Lyre'
Leaves have a dark upper surface whilst the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. Individual leaves are approximately 3cm long and up to 1.2cm wide. The edges ar e rolled under. Flower clusters are
borne terminally on short laterals. Perianth tube and limb is a rich yellow in colour and up to 2cm in length. Style is red and up to about 2cm in length. The flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parents in that it falls
intermediate between them in both size of leaf and flower.
Grevillea 'Purple Prowler'
Vigorous bushy shrub to c 1m x 3-4m. Flowers:terminal dark red toothbrush type, Spring to early Summer. Possibly a hybrid between Grevillea scortechini and G. acanthifolia or G. rivularis.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'H16'
Compact shrub 0.8m(h) x 0.8m(w) with terminal red flowers in Winter.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Callistemon 'Pink Sensation'
An open small tree to 3m high by 1.5m across in 4 years. The
bark is soft, grey and fissured, splitting to reveal papery bark beneath.
The leaves are narrowly elliptical to 60mm long by 5mm wide. The new growth
is light yellow green. The deep pink flowers are borne in very crowded
spikes to 80mm long by 45mm diameter. The anthers are yellow. Flowers are
seen in spring, summer and autumn and the spring flowers tend to be longer
than those borne at other times.
Diagnosis:
Differs from C. 'Glasshouse Gem' in having:
* light yellow green new growth
* more crowded flower spikes
* darker pink flowers
Differs from C. 'Glasshouse Country' and C. 'Glasshouse Beauty' in having:
* larger flowers
* darker pink flowers
Callistemon salignus 'Perth Pink'
A tall open shrub to 4m tall. Leaves are lanceolate to 80mm
long. The deep pink flowers are borne in clusters at the ends of the
branches in spring and it may flower sporadically at other times of the
year.
Diagnosis:
Callistemon 'Perth Pink' is much bushier than C. salignus.
Callistemon 'Hannah's Child'
Shrub 1.5 x 4m high. Produces scarlet flowers (9 to 12cm x 6
to 8 cm) from March to may and again in October/November. Young specimens
are similar to Callistemon 'Hannah Ray', mature specimens are more like
Callistemon 'Kings Park Special'. Its main distinguishing feature is its
ability to flower at a much earlier age than either parent, and is very
floriferous. New growth is pale yellow/green and covered with silky hairs.
Mature leaves become glaucous.
Diagnosis:
Differs from both parents in its ability to flower when very
young (less than 12 months, 140mm pots). Denser flowers than 'Hannah Ray'.
Only 2/3 rds height of 'Hannah Ray'.
