Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie'
It is a large shrub growing to a height of about 4m by 5m
wide. The leaves are long and narrow and very deeply lobed. Each lobe is
pungent. The average number of lobes per leaf on the specimen examined is
14. The leaves are about 120mm long and up to 40mm wide across the lobes.
Occasionally entire leaves are produced. New foliage exhibits an attractive
bronze colour whilst older foliage is dark green on the upper surface and
grey on the underside with a dense covering of silky hairs. The flowers are
of the "toothbrush" type and are borne terminally on short branchlets. The
perianth is about 8mm long and is covered with dense hairs. The prominent
yellow styles are about 20mm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its stated parent in leaf shape
and colour of styles. Grevillea 'Poorinda Blondie' has wider, about 4mm and
shorter, about 10mm, lobes than Grevillea hookeriana, which had on the
specimen examined, lobes 2mm wide and up to 40mm long. This cultivar has
yellow styles compared with red for Grevillea hookeriana. Grevillea
'Poorinda Blondie' is different from Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah' in number
of lobes per leaf and colour of styles. This cultivar has an average of 14
lobes per leaf compared with a average of 3 for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'
and has yellow styles compared with pink for Grevillea 'Poorinda Beulah'.
The perianth colour is the same.
Anigozanthos 'Sue Dixon'
The flowering stems reach 75cm tall, slightly woolly towards
the base and becoming more dense towards the top. Flowers are in a simple
terminal raceme, on pedicels up to 12mm long. The dense plumose wool on the
flowers is red on the ovary and pedicel becoming more yellow immediately
above. Perianth tube to ca. 4.5 cm long, scabrous inside, hairs becoming
more linear towards the base, with stellate tips immediately above the
ovary. Lobes to 1.3cm long, plumose woolly inside, the hairs sometime
purple. Anthers linear, slightly longer than filaments, the connective
tipped with a small gland-like appendage. Ovules ca. 6 per locule. The
flowering season is from October to November.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from A. manglesii in having shorter
corolla lobes which are not as reflexed as those in A. manglesii. The
corolla tube is round at the end (flat in A. manglesii and the greenish
yellow anthers (green in A. manglesii) form a part circle (flat in A.
manglesii). The leaves are almost evergreen and similar in colour to A.
flavidus. The cultivar differs from A. rufus in having a broader and longer
corolla tube and bigger lobes. There is less branching on the flower stem
and fewer flowers on the branches. The colour of the flower is two-toned ie
changes at the base of the corolla tube (in A. rufus it is the same right
through to the flower stem). This differs from A. flavidus in having a
shorter flower stem and less branching on the stem. The corolla tube is
broader and slightly longer than in A. flavidus, and the corolla lobes are
reflexed right back. Anthers are greenish yellow (orange in A. flavidus)
and bigger with longer filaments.
Pultenaea pedunculata 'Pyalong Pink'
This cultivar is a colour form of Pultenaea pedunculata. It is
a very dense, prostrate shrub that grows to 2m wide, and is very
floriferous. The flowers are pink, plus/minus 8mm across and appear in
spring. All other details of the cultivar are as for P. pedunculata.
Diagnosis:
Pultenaea 'Pyalong Pink' is readily distinguished from the usual
P. pedunculata by its flower colour. The upper surface of the standard is
pale pink with red striations radiating from the centre, while the under
surface is deep pink. In usual forms of P. pedunculata the flowers are
mainly yellow with a small patch of red around the base of the keel and
standard of the flowers.
Other notes:
Although forms close to this one are known from previous wild
collections, it is uncommon and its pink flowers make it more conspicuous.
It is uncommon and its pink flowers make it more conspicuous than the more
common forms of P. pedunculata. The cultivar was first
introduced to cultivation in October 1977.
