Grevillea juniperina, commonly known as juniper- or juniper-leaf grevillea or prickly spider-flower, are native to eastern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland in Australia. They are a variable species which occurs in prostrate or decumbent forms as well as shrubby forms from 1 to 2.5 meters high. The leaves are linear up to 35 mm long terminating in a pungent point. In some forms the tip is very sharp. Flowers clusters are of the typical 'spider' form occurring in the leaf axils and at the ends of the branches. Flower color may be greenish-yellow, yellow, apricot, pink, or red. Copious quantities of nectar are produced by these flowers, which attract many birds and insects. [Photo from WeChat: csnbgsh] |
