Silky Oak in Spring
Grevillea robusta (Proteaceae), Silky Oak, one of our prized native trees.
Layers of golden blossoms make a magnificent Springtime display around the countryside.
I find even the leaves are so pretty, with an underside of silvey grey, but here they show up bluish due to the late afternoon light.
They've also been planted in many streets alongside the Jacaranda and they flower at the same time, giving dazzling gold and purple pops around town.
They'd easily be 100 years old and whoever planted them had awesome foresight in the concept of urban beautification back then.
I think he left a beautiful legacy behind..
No edits.Taken handheld in the breeze again of course.
