Bright Spot in a Day November 30th, 2007

Immature Grevillea flower

Grevillea treeI had a frustrating morning which had left me feeling drained and as glum as the overcast day…Then this afternoon I picked my neice up from school and on the way home we passed my favourite tree, it is bright yellow and always makes me smile, I remembered that I had my camera in my bag so we stopped to take a photo, the day was to overcast to get a good photo of the whole tree but you can see the colour in the close ups of the flowers and see why I would think of it as a bright spot in any day…I don’t know what species it is but it is a Grevillea which are native Australian plants.

Admin note: Thanks to comments I now know this to be Grevillea Robusta also know as Silky Oak.

    What a unique looking tree! I love it! Guess I really need to come to Australia to see all the wonderful things you have that we don’t have in the US.

    What a beautiful tree – I think it is grevillea robusta – also known as a silky oak.

    Hi Annie,

    It is Grevillea robusta – the Silky Oak. I have a stunning one in my garden I grew from seed.

    Annie, what a beautiful tree, I can see why it makes you smile. Very uplifting.

    Annie, thanks for the great pictures of this plant. It is beautiful. I came back for a visit to see it again when Sharon B gave us the pistil stitch as the TSTC assignment of week 49. I wish I could use that stitch to convey some of the beauty I see in this plant, but it looks like it’s beyond me. I better stick to my school girl stitching for now.
