This is a fairly new planting (this season) and is just coming into flower. It's a hybrid between G. Longistyla and G. Venusta and has proven to be quite hardy and popular. It's also a prolific flowerer. By the way, the background tree (small tree) is a Maleluca, or 'paper-bark'.

    That is a very lovely and interesting bloom. It looks tall and willowy.

    I like the 'elbow' on the Maleluca.

    I love perfumed flowers and am always asking, if there is perfume? One of these days, I'm going to be stung in the nose. as I'm forever sticking it in a bloom, seeking perfume.

    Well it is a bit tall Inga, though so far not too tall, about 3 metres - 6 to 8 feet. Here's another picture taken at the same time, perhaps it's a bit clearer. Oh, no it doesn't seem to have a perfume, but like you, I always stick my nose into a flower to tell.

    I like the shade of pink in this one. Our Grevilleas should start to flower soon with the coming of the wet season. But there's only one at my place, and it tends to grow as a spindly small tree.
