Grevillea – I love these. They are such a beautiful colour (though there are colours other than scarlet. I have posted one of yellow before, and I think a pale yellow as well) and occur in so many different places – waste ground, corners, neglected areas of gardens. Birds love them.

I hope you enjoyed these. I enjoyed discovering them.
