Grevillea scortechinii (black grevillea) in the garden is coming into bloom after a hard prune over winter. This grafted plant is over 20 years old now and has formed a large mound.
One of a handful of grevillea species with interesting 'black' flowers but unfortunately rarely if ever seen in nurseries down my way.

Grevillea buxifolia (grey spider flower) flowering in the garden near Corunna, NSW. Another attractive sandstone species which is unfortunately not common in cultivation down my way (may be easier to find closer to Sydney or in Victorian native plant nurseries).
Flowers are interesting (colour and shape) and the plant can be kept to fairly compact bush with some appropriate pruning. Doesn't tend to like heavier soils but has proven to be long-lived in less than ideal conditions at Corunna.
