A lovely and very distinctive plant. All these at a car park?

You observant blogger, you. They lined the footpath, along the hotel carpark in Dunkel, Grampians. I’ve never seen them anywhere else.

That’s a type of bottle brush I’m not familiar with. Cool photos. 😀

Thanks, Cee. I think they’re primarily a grevillea, but their likeness to bottle brush gave them the name.

Love the delicate pink shades on these, Karen. 🙂

Thanks. I liked the two-tones, myself. The inside looks loaded with nectar.

I love to watch the honey-eaters as they dart about my red calothamnus (One-sided bottlebrush). The interesting thing is they do it both when the flowers are in bloom and also when they are not, so no honey to eat! 🙂

This is a nice colour. I posted bottlebrushes a few days ago too and all the ones in my area are red.

That’s certainly the most common here, although we get a pink shade, too. I saw these in the Grampians and they’re actually a grevillea, which might explain the lovely colors.
