What is Grevillea banksii

Grevillea (scientific name: Grevillea banksii) is a semi-tolerant evergreen shrub native to Australia and New Caledonia in the genus Grevillea. The leaves are green and deeply lobed, resembling pine needles. In Japan, it blooms from late fall to the following spring, but in warmer climates such as Hawaii, it can be seen all year round (four seasons). The structure of the flower is unusual. The flowers do not have petals. Cylindrical, toothbrush or spider web shaped inflorescences or cones grow from the tips of the branches and are covered with numerous flower-like bracts. Each bract contains a pistil and a stamen, and after fertilization, a wire-like column of pistils protrudes outward from the bract pouch, giving the flower the appearance of a cluster of silk threads. The flowers can be white, red, yellow, or pink. The photo shows Grevillea Robyn Gordon, a representative variety of Grevillea. There are other varieties such as Hagoromonomatsu, Red Clade and Pygmy Dancer.
