Can someone ID this Grevillea for me?

The flowers are a creamy white to light pink - much much lighter than my 'Robyn Gordon.'

Thanks in advance.

Hi seeing you are from the USA, I have put a link on as Iam not sure as I cannot see the flowers very well.

Have a look at the link and click on the photos you may see it there. It could be Misty Pink or Pink Surprise or maybe Superb...Cheers...MM.

This looks a little bit like "Kay Williams" which I have. If someone can tell me how to post a photo (I can't work it out!) I will put one here for comparison.

Does look like a frosty pink - one of the old stalwarts. But as jesus said, it could be any. I had a frosty pink years ago, and the blooms looked like that, kind of a "quilted" look. I always enjoyed it - and don't know why I don't have one now. It was always one of the most strongly scented brugs I had. Roses. Always smelled like roses to me. Thank you for the beautiful pics - I think I'll get one for myself. (Short/small brug, stays a manageable size.)

It does look like Kalanchoe tomentosa, but it is in very poor shape. Aerial roots are not much problem, but plant is really suffering from lack of light. It is also potted in wrong soil and way too deep inside the pot. Plantlets growing from some of the fallen leaves are normal - that is one way how this plant propagates. You can save it by using better potting mix, and rooting the cuttings. Plant needs to have leaves growing much closer together. Even tiny plantlets are way too etiolated - all of it needs much better light. If my plant, I would get new mix; make cuttings and try to root them. They need to be kept dry for a while, and kept in less light for a bit that should be slowly increased. Also, new plantlets can be potted up in new mix and they need better light to grow. Make sure you acclimatize them to more light, or they could burn.

To add to what SLD stated true Epiphyllum are two sided, but the hybrids are three sided. If I’m not mistaken most of the ”true” Epiphyllum have white flowers. Most of mine are three sided you just can’t see it in the pic. Some of the leaves will grow two sides, but on the same plant a three sided leaf will grow. It was a pain the booty to get that pic😉. If you look closely the flower is sitting on a pine cone because it kept flopping down. I believe most of the ones we see with big pretty colorful flowers are hybrids. I went to an Epiphyllum show in SF and some of the flowers can get to a size close to dinner plates. The actual cactus is so boring, but the flowers are incredible. The buds even impress me!

I was just looking at Sedum pics and came across what I think may be your plant. Check your original post.

Hello Kickstand778

From your photo, I believe it would be either Misty Pink or Pink Surprise. Flowers from Pink Surprise are bigger/longer than those for Misty Pink, from what I've seen.

Cheers,
Frank

Hi again, with apologies for the delay after saying I would post a pic. Thanks to Mistymorn for instructions, but unfortunately the security setup on my PC is blocking this! But clever hubbie is working on it Â

In the meantime, I found a website which pictures Kay Williams. Click on the thumbnails for a larger pic.

I had another look at your plant. The photo shows it quite small. The two cultivars I mentioned will normally grow to about 4m, so unless it has been regularly pruned to keep it that size, it could be something else.

Cheers,

The plant sold in nurseries labelled as G. Misty Pink is as your plant - silvery leaves, wider than G. Kay Williams, and the pink and cream flowers. It tends to be more compact and low - only to 1-2m or so. G. Kay Williams tends to be 4m and straight up.

Thanks, that "Kay Williams" looks very close. The size of the plant is small because it was planted only a year ago.
