Grevillea 'Ninderry-Sunrise'
A spreading, bushy, shrub 1m high x 2 m wide. The orange flowers can be produced most of year but mostly late Spring to Summer. Diagnosis: G. 'Billy Bonkers' has similar growth habit but has red flowers.
Grevillea 'Starfire'
Grevillea 'Starfire' grows into a bushy shrub 2.5m tall and
1.5m wide. The foliage is dark green on the upper surface and the lower
surface is covered in closely appressed silvery hairs which give a silvery
appearance. The leaves are compound and are about 29cm long and 24cm wide.
The midrib of each leaf is prominent, raised on the lower surface and a
contrasting yellow green on the lower surface. The inflorescences are
cylindrical racemes 15-16cm long and about 8cm across. Flowers are produced
throughout the year but are most prolific from November to April. On
opening the flowers are a coppery brown but this colour quickly changes to
a bright red. The styles are a contrasting pink with yellow stigmas.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Starfire' resembles both its parents. G. 'Honey Gem'
has greyed yellow lobes with yellow styles, G. 'Starfire' has dark red
lobes with pink styles, and G. 'Starflame' has red lobes with red styles.
Grevillea 'Starflame'
Grevillea 'Starflame' grows into a slender shrub 2m tall and
1m wide. The foliage and inflorescences are the same as for Grevillea
'Starfire'. Flowering is sporadic but most prolific in spring. The flowers
are bright flame red with red styles.
Diagnosis:
Grevillea 'Starflame' is very much like both its parent G
.'Honey Gem' and another G. 'Honey Gem' seedling, G. 'Starfire'. The main
difference between the three is flower colour. G. 'Honey Gem' has greyed
yellow lobes with yellow styles, G. 'Starflame' has red lobes with red
styles, and G. 'Starfire' has dark red lobes with pink styles.
Grevillea 'Misty Pink'
This cultivar grows to plus/minus 2.5m tall by 1.5m wide. It
reaches these dimensions at 3.5 years of age. The habit of the cultivar
closely resembles that of one of its parents, G. banksii. The leaves of
this cultivar are plus/minus 18cm long by 17-18 cm wide at their widest
point. They resemble the leaves of both parents fairly closely. The
individual lobes of the leaf have the more pungent tips of G. sessilis.
The stems are slightly angular being intermediate between the angular stems
of G. sessilis and the round stems of G. banksii. The flowers are borne in
a raceme 10-11cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide. They are a soft pink with
orange styles and are found all year round. The individual flowers are
plus/minus 35mm long to the tip of the stigma and packed densely into the
raceme. The inflorescence is wider than those of G. sessilis and
approximately the same as G. banksii. Individual flowers are the same size
as for G. banksii but differ in colour.
Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon'
This cultivar is an upright shrub 3m tall by 2m across. The
leaves are 2.5 to 3cm long by ca. 2.5cm wide at the widest point. The
leaves are stiff and leathery with the midrib of the leaf being strongly
curved (reflexed). The leaves have a dentate margin with pungent points on
each lobe. The venation is prominent, being yellow green in colour. The
veins stand out from the leaf surface on the underside. The flowers are a
rich pink to red. The style and pedicel are covered with a dense coat of
silky hairs and there are scattered hairs on the perianth segments. The
main flowering season is late winter to early spring though is also
sporadic with flowers often appearing after rain.
Diagnosis:
The leaves of Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon' resemble those of G.
insignis though they are smaller in size. G. insignis leaves are about
5.5cm long by 3cm wide at the widest point though are variable. They are
roughly ovate and undulate with dentate margins surrounded by a pungent
tip. The leaves of the cultivar are more crowded on the stems than in G.
insignis. G. asteriscosa has much smaller, almost sessile leaves that are
deeply trifid and have pungent lobes. The stems of G. insignis are glabrous
with a mealy bloom while Grevillea 'Merinda Gordon' is glabrous without the
mealy bloom. G. asteriscosa has hairy stems. The flowers of the cultivar
are intermediate in size between the parent species, smaller than G.
insignis but larger than G. asteriscosa. The style is glabrous in G.
insignis except near the base while the styles of both G. asteriscosa and
the cultivar are hairy.
