Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Golden Lyre'
Leaves have a dark upper surface whilst the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. Individual leaves are approximately 3cm long and up to 1.2cm wide. The edges ar e rolled under. Flower clusters are
borne terminally on short laterals. Perianth tube and limb is a rich yellow in colour and up to 2cm in length. Style is red and up to about 2cm in length. The flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parents in that it falls
intermediate between them in both size of leaf and flower.
Grevillea 'Purple Prowler'
Vigorous bushy shrub to c 1m x 3-4m. Flowers:terminal dark red toothbrush type, Spring to early Summer. Possibly a hybrid between Grevillea scortechini and G. acanthifolia or G. rivularis.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'H16'
Compact shrub 0.8m(h) x 0.8m(w) with terminal red flowers in Winter.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Correa alba var. alba 'Blush'
Erect medium sized shrub to c. 2m x 2m with a dense habit.
Branchlets finely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming
green and glabrous with occasional clusters of stellate hairs. Simple
leaves broad elliptic or sub-circular, 20 mm x 20 mm. Leaf tips slightly
emarginate, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins slightly
recurved. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and coriaceous with
occasional minute hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves minutely tomentose.
Corolla 10 mm x 10 mm with petals split to calyx, largely white around
margins with pale pink spreading along petal from throat. Peak flowering is
from April to June in most districts with spasmodic flowering throughout
the year.
Diagnosis:
The normal flower colour for C. alba var. alba is white. Various
forms with pink petals occur naturally in both Victoria and Tasmania. This
is one of the naturally occurring forms from Victoria. The descriptive name
'Blush' has been used to differentiate this plant from other C. alba var.
alba forms which have white petals. The size and habit of the plant
conforms to other C. alba var. alba forms.
Correa 'Pink Delight'
Prostrate shrub to c. 40 cm x 2-3 m with a moderately dense
habit. Branchlets and stems green, glabrous with occasional rust-coloured
stellate hairs. Simple cordate leaves, 28 mm x 14 mm, with obvious pattern
of oil glands, petioles 6 mm. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique,
venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark
green and glabrous. Upper surfaces of young leaves glabrous with occasional
rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green, glabrous with
occasional white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs.
Corolla cylindrical 40 mm x 15 mm, pale pink with cream tips. Peak
flowering is from May to July in most districts.
Diagnosis:
The glabrous leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for
C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The flower is larger than Wilson's range for
C. pulchella and the cream tips are an unusual variation. C. pulchella
flowers tend to have only one colour from calyx to tip rather than two.
There may be some affinity with C backhouseana in this seedling. The
cultivar flower is distinctive because of its size which is larger than
most C. pulchella flowers and because of its colour which is different from
other C. pulchella hybrids, e.g., 'Dusky Bells', 'Pink Mist', 'Mannii'. It
differs from C. 'Firebird' in flower size and colour, in size of plant and
growth habit and in leaf shape and tomentum.
Correa reflexa var. reflexa 'Narrow Neil'
Erect shrub to c. 1.7 m x I m with a moderately dense habit.
Branchlets highly tomentose with rust coloured stellate hairs becoming
brown and glabrous with age. Leaves simple, cordate, 19 mm x 14 mm, shortly
petiolate. Leaf apices obtuse-emarginate, leaf bases cordate, venation
reticulate, entire margins. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and
scabridulous. Upper surfaces of young leaves pale green with scattered
white-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces of leaves minutely tomentose
with white stellate hairs becoming rust coloured and more concentrated on
the veins. Peduncles axillary, calyx hemispherical, 5 mm high, fawn
coloured with scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla cylindrical
37mm x 9 mm, deep red with definite pale green band at tips, which are
strongly reflexed and covered with a fine tomentum of red-coloured stellate
hairs becoming white and lime-coloured at tips. Anthers strongly exerted,
narrow oblong and obtuse. Peak flowering is from June to September in most
districts.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar conforms to descriptions for C. reflexa var.
reflexa by Wilson (1998). The rich-red flower colour and floriferous habit
distinctive features of this selection from the wild. It varies from C.
'Mary's Choice' in the size and growth habit of the plant, in the size and
shape of the leaves, as well as in the amount of tomentum on the leaves.
The flowers are also distinctive from C. 'Mary's Choice' in the definite
band of lime green at the tips and their stronger reflex.
