Hi Merilyn I didn't think they turned out as well as they did. The purple, green, orange and yellow one is Grevillea Venusta, and it's mine. A huge tree which I should take a pic of to show you. It's been blown over twice in storms and it is still going. Strong.
Dave (a lefty) Thanks I love my garden, I wish I had the energy and time and strength to do more with it. As I said, the venusta is mine, the others are from a bloke at work's garden. It was a lovely vase full for the reception area in the office. We will do it more often, natives are so dramatic. In a few weeks the buds which are on the trees will open and there will be great displays of colour. I have lots of miniature geraldton wax, which I love, and there's lots of blooms on the Queensland Wattle, which I also love. I lived in Footscray for two months in 1990 - at a motel on the main road, can't remember its name but it was a big motel on the road to Geelong. I just looked for it, it was The Palms.
Have made a note of the Grevillea Ventusta and will see if the Native Nursery has it in stock, even more important does it grow in S.A. [the soil in this area is not the best, and I have to change it to suit the plants].

Hi kae,
If at all possible would you be able to take a picture of the Grevillea Venusta, without the time stamp and a bit higher resolution please?
I'd love to have it as a desktop background.
If not, no problem.
Thanks
