Flower of the Day - Hot Pink Grevillea


Flower of the Day - Hot Pink Grevillea. This vibrantly coloured flower was photographed in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney.  Just yesterday the RBG announced a "master plan" for the future that includes a ferry wharf, train station and luxury hotel for the Gardens.  Reactions were mixed, but I liked the idea, as it would bring more visitors to the gardens and Art Gallery of NSW.  Read more at The Royal Botanic Gardens website
