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.
Grevillea 'Coastal Prestige'
Fast growing large upright shrub 3-4m, large rosy pink terminal flower spikes from Autumn to Spring.
Correa reflexa var. speciosa 'Portland Belle'
Small, dense shrub 50cm in diameter. Flowers colour carmine red with green tips and white throat, ca. 3cm long by 4cm wide from April to August in Victoria.
May be a hybrid between Correa reflexa var. speciosa and C. alba var. alba with distinctive characteristic of the flower splitting.
Correa 'Vanilla Cream'
Upright dense shrub growing to 1.5 m high by 1 m wide. The plant has long ascendant stems, particularly on the outside of the bush. Leaves are ovate to elliptical in shape with undulating margins and obtuse tips, 35 mm x 22 mm in size, dark green, glabrous and leathery on top, pale green and velvety underneath with scattered rust coloured stellate hairs concentrated on the midvein. Petioles are 3 mm long. Flowers occur either singly or in small clusters at the ends of lateral branchlets. Corolla is creamy white in colour, 20 mm long x 8 mm wide before splitting. Petal tips
have a light dusting of tan coloured stellate hairs and are strongly splayed outwards. Stamens are made up of tan coloured anthers on white filaments, slightly longer than the petals and splayed outwards in the petal splits. Calyx is green, square in cross section, with four shallow
lobes, the points occurring where the petals are fused in the corolla. The pedicel is 5 mm long. Peak flowering occurs in Autumn and Winter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar appears to be a C. alba x backhouseana hybrid. The flowers of C. alba x backhouseana from Boat Harbour in Tasmania are larger and they have a darker concentration of tan coloured stellate hairs on the tips. The flowers of C. ‘Dusty Bells’ are strongly covered in tan coloured
stellate hairs giving them a much darker appearance. The typical C. alba var alba corolla splits to the calyx and the petals are strongly splayed outwards exposing the nectary in the base of the flower.
