New beginnings
'Poorinda Royal Mantle' is a prostrate Grevillea that I grow along a large stony bank. It has spread over 6 metres in three years.
Grevillea plants are members of the intriguing Proteaceae family with predominant distribution in the southern hemisphere.
In this unfurling bloom, my focus here is on one of the perianth cups covering the four anthers, pollen presenter and stigma. In the fully opened toothbrush like flower, the pink/red styles have conspicuous and bright yellow stigmas.
