Dear Surajit wonderful that you found and shared these links... if one peruses these it becomes obvious that many sp and many many more cultivars are being studied by these groups.. yes there at least one and one comes across a few more very active study groups of exotics , not to mention university level groups to study and id these ... with live specimen in hand and often if not live, superb close ups all aspects of the plants and flowers and dissections...
Aarti: thanks for the fifth pic , but it dos not tell me the plant size and details of the leaves etc... I am happy with Grevillea sp, cultivar .... questions that arise with any plant and esp here with so many cultivars out there... what is the shape of the plant, how tall, what does the stem and bark look like, branching, leaves details, and then flower spike/inflorescence ... size etc... I am not even sure of the color..is it pink? is it red? is it orange? is it orangeish red? digital cameras do a number with some red colored flowers and leaves ... ... unless we also take a reference card with us and photograph it along with red its often difficult ... esp out under the open sky... now the question is : which do i pick from these ps pics above taken in a hurry: which cultivar??? ..".ned kelly", "superb",, or "robyn gordon", cultivars or is it g. juniperina? its a difficult task , you'll agree when you see and read the difficulties in nailing the diagnosis based on these pictures only.... imagine the intense scrutiny the study group undertakes... There were many cultivars in australia already and then i can imagine all the cultivars developed since it became popular in american southwest... *my final diagnosis is red flowering cultivar of Grevillea sp.* I am glad you showed these and it will be in the database in indiatreepix as an australian plant, and in this day and age of all xeriscaping plants finding a place in international growers lists, it may come to india like the artichokes, kiwi, avocado etc etc have .. who knows..it may be a start of another conversation.. but today this is as far i am willing to go based on the data we have. iti... usha di On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 11:40 PM, Aarti S.
