Here's a closer-up pic of the flower (plus the top of my ladder!)

That is a lovely flowering plant.

Very interesting Bill as well as attractive the little stamens are Grevillae like and the name sounds like a nickname for a Belgian detective!! We had some rain last night and only hope it moves to N.S.W where these horrific fires are at this moment. Our hearts go out to all who are suffering so much and pray for the safety of our heroic fire fighters

Thanks Chas and Inga. Fortunately for me the fires are a long way away but the news broadcasts indicate there's a real conflagration in the blue Mountains west of Sydney. Fires are merging, many homes have already been destroyed and many more are under threat; it's been such a dry winter and the winds this spring are severe. We can only pray for rain.
