gravillia

Sandra:

Beautiful flower!

Does this shrub grow in the ground there?

morning Delonix
yes it does....one has been in for about five years now its huge. i just love the flowers.

Sandra:

It's still night late night 11:30 p.m. Monday here.

How large does it grow there? Here they usually top out about 12 feet / 4 meter tall. and twice as wide...however, can be kept much smaller.

mine is about 5 foot high. and 6 foot wide. its been in three years...

Sandra:

Yes, I know most species of Grevillea grow very quickly...and bloom all year. They are also very drought tolerant...which is good for our almost rainless climate.

i've seen a low-growing pink one in my niegbours garden.

Sandra:

I went to the San Diego Zoo today...and saw so many different varieties of Grevillea growing there...some varieties are almost 20 feet/ 6 meters tall. The colors range from pink to dark burgundy and many other color in between. I'll be posting photos of some of the ones that I was able to get a good photo from.

i'll look forward to them ;-))
