Grevillea robusta photos

This is really strange, we used to grow this as a house plant for foliage where it would reach 1 metre (if you were lucky). Ah, the joys of a colder climate!

Vincent, they really are supposed to be trees, but I can imagine when not grown in their native habitat they are slow to develop. Here, they are not the strongest of trees, often breaking branches and their lifeline is not very long. I've seen them come and go in friends gardens, but this one made it into a very tall species.

I still can't get used to seeing things like Poinsettia growing as shrubs in Florida and I sometimes envy people who can always get a blue sky as background in their photos.
Oh, well, we rarely have a watering problem!

Vincentdunne, that is a good philosophy you have, that way we are happy with whatever we have. If only you know how dry it is here.....the water bills are skyhigh. Many people install bores and even with those we do get water restrictions, a sad state of affairs.
