Did that Grevillea come from Village Nursery? It shows the same range of leaf color I saw in 2 of the plants there when I visited. I think I like the leaf color even more than flowers.

HEAVEN. Bodice-ripping, chest-heaving, the whole shebang.<br /><br />I like the hybrid-y notion of a What's on the Potting Bench Today monthly post, because you can throw in some gear if the planting material isn't up to snuff, and I find most gardeners shelve less-than-stellar arrangements on benches, to wither away in solace and from prying eyes. I'm inordinately excited about that potting bench. The wood looked lovely. I would have suggested a touch of chalk paint, but now that you're using it that advice seems a bit fussy. Is that a crested echeveria?Saurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090665102782891402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376265981959655408.post-81931659656980985932015-06-27T23:11:33.891-07:002015-06-27T23:11:33.891-07:00Wide shot!
