Subject: Grevillea “Orange Marmalade” / Location: Roma Street Parklands, Brisbane. Formerly titled “Orange”. This is probably the most popular photograph I have taken to date, shot in late April 2005. Grevilleas are hybrid native plants which come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, from ground covers to large trees. The flowers come in a range of colors including light pinks and whites, orange, red, green and yellow and are one of my favourite subjects.
A tiny emerging grevillea seen next to a walking track at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains of Australia. This is the end section of a small flower. For the benefit of the macro groups this section of the flower is about 2.5 cm long. As mentioned in some of the comments below, I came across this flower because I followed the wrong track to the falls. Thank god for mistakes. Also, the flower looks different in it’s final stage as the pink stems shoot upwards. It was great timing to catch it at this stage. Thank you to the group organisers for featuring this in Flowers in Macro on October 18, 2008, In The Pink on February 20, 2009, Grevilleas on June 12, 2009 & thank you to those in the Grevillea group who voted this image as the winner of the January 2009 Grevillea challenge. / Another win .. the Pretty in Pink challenge in the Australian Native Flower group in April 2009. This image is special to me because it was the first of my photos to sell privately.
Another grevillea photo from my garden. I’m so pleased with these photos. I’ve never been able to take a nice one of grevillea before – must be my lensbaby!! Featured in Grevillea Group May 19, 2009
Here’s a red Grevillea, a native to Australia,,, picked from my mother-in-law’s garden ;o)
Grevillea may act as a catalyst for those who know what they want to achieve but may not know how to go about it. It promotes independence, self-sufficiency and boldness. Aboriginal use: Grevillea flowers were a traditional favourite among Aborigines for their sweet nectar. This could be shaken onto the hand to enjoy, or into a coolamon (dish) with a little water to make a sweet drink. They might be referred to as the original “bush lollies”. The flower heads were used for sweets and drinks but seeds were used for food as well. As grevilleas attract birds to nest in them, they were also a source of eggs and bird meat during early spring.

One of the many Grevilleas in flower in my backyard. I chose to selectively colour it to make the stamens stand out more. / / / / © Shelley Heath (aka Soul Creates), Copyright 2008, All rights reserved.

Grevillea ‘Golden Lyre’ is a stunning plant that flowers in winter – these flowers are about 20cm long and attract honeyeating birds. ‘Golden Lyre’ is a hybrid of Grevillea formosa from the Kakadu area in the Northern Territory and so it likes a warm spot. These flowers are on a grafted plant I have in a black pot – which is the dark background for the photo. It is taken using natural light not flash. View larger to see the detail!
Subject: Grevillea “Orange Marmalade” / Location: Suburban garden, East Brisbane. This is another photo of an Orange Marmalade hybrid. I liked the first photo I had so much that I went and bought a few plants for my own garden, this was one of them; I have since moved.
