'Bush Emerald' at Cranbourne
'Bush Emerald' is a cultivar of Anigozanthos manglesii, the Kangaroo Paw with the largest flowers of this genus. The shots for these paintings were taken at the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne in outer Melbourne. A manglesii is the floral emblem of Western Australia.
Banksia cuneata at Quairading
Banksia cuneata is a rare plant with stunning pink and yellow/green 'matchstick' flowers. On a tour in September 2007 we were lucky to see this plant in Quairading, east of Perth in Western Australia. This is one of the few locations it is found.
'Scarlet Feather-flower' in Kings Park
Plants of the genus Verticordia, or 'turner of hearts' are called 'feather-flowers' due to the fringed calyx beneath the petals. The deep red flowers of this species, Verticordia grandis, are large for the genus. Kings Park is in Perth Western Australia.
'Blue lechenaultia' or 'Floor-of-the-sky'
Lechenaultia biloba thrives in impoverished soils in parts of south west Western Australia, but struggles to survive elsewhere. Its blossoms vary from deep to pale blue, occasionally white. The subject for these paintings was an intense blue-violet.
Grevillea near Strathcona
There are around 250 species in the Grevillea genus and hundreds of hybrids. This plant's blossoms hang over the front fence of a house I often pass when out walking.
'Silky Oak' in Warburton Road
The Silky Oak, common name of another Grevillea, G. robusta, can grow to 30 metres. It comes from the sub-tropical rainforests of the eastern Australian coast, but lives happily down south in Melbourne.
Banksia conferta at Maranoa Gardens
Banksias are named after English botanist Sir Joseph Banks who identified this genus in 1770. This species grows up to 4 metres. The plant represented in these works is the subspecies pencillata which has toothed leaves.
