Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Golden Lyre'
Leaves have a dark upper surface whilst the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. Individual leaves are approximately 3cm long and up to 1.2cm wide. The edges ar e rolled under. Flower clusters are
borne terminally on short laterals. Perianth tube and limb is a rich yellow in colour and up to 2cm in length. Style is red and up to about 2cm in length. The flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parents in that it falls
intermediate between them in both size of leaf and flower.
Grevillea 'Purple Prowler'
Vigorous bushy shrub to c 1m x 3-4m. Flowers:terminal dark red toothbrush type, Spring to early Summer. Possibly a hybrid between Grevillea scortechini and G. acanthifolia or G. rivularis.
Grevillea rosmarinifolia 'H16'
Compact shrub 0.8m(h) x 0.8m(w) with terminal red flowers in Winter.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Grevillea 'Sunkissed Waters'
Brightly coloured, variegated ground cover plant. Like ‘Poorinda Royal Mantle’, it has a very low and even profile (below 10 cms) and its red flowers are borne on one-sided (toothbrush-like) racemes. Flowering is from early autumn to late spring with spot flowers throughout the year.
Callistemon 'Packers Selection'
This cultivar is a fast growing and pendulous shrub ca. 1.5m
tall by 1.5m wide. Inflorescences are deep red in colour and ca. 9cm long,
but narrow in diameter (ca. 3cm). Flowering is spasmodic all year (as
observed under conditions in WA) with profuse flowering in October,
January-February and March-April (also in WA).
Diagnosis:
Callistemon 'Packers Selection' closely resembles C. subulatus.
It is possible to distinguish the cultivar by its very pendulous habit
compared with the more erect habit of C. subulatus and by the much longer
inflorescences. The flowers are a deep red fading as they age.
Comparators:
Callistemon subulatus CBG 7801196. NSW South Coast,
14Km north of Yowrie PO on north side of Tuross River.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Stephen'
It is a small shrub growing to a height of about 1m. The
narrow pungent leaves are entire and about 20mm long and 3mm wide. The
upper surface is pale green with prominent veins whilst the underside is
grey and covered with dense silky hairs. The flowers are formed into
clusters and are borne terminally in the leaf axils. The perianth is a deep
pink and about 14mm long and the prominent styles are about 25mm long. The
flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its parents in that it is
smaller in size. The leaves are also smaller than those usually seen on
both parents.
Pimelea ferruginea 'Magenta Mist'
This cultivar resembles the usual form of P. ferruginea
except in regard to the flower colour. The inflorescences are magenta in
colour.
Diagnosis:
P. ferruginea 'Magenta Mist' is readily distinguished from P.
ferruginea because of the rich magenta colour of its flowers. It can be
distinguished form P. ferruginea 'Bonne Petite' in the following ways:
'Magenta Mist'
