This pretty little thing is a Robyn Gordon Grevillea. It is a hybrid plant and does not set seed (if seed forms, they will not become Robyn Gordon Grevilleas), it is only reproduced asexually from cuttings. It is one of the most popular grevilleas on the market and I am honestly disappointed that we dont have more of them around the parks. They are magnificent for attracting birds, lowish growing, hardy and can handle a jolly good prune. I remember when I was a little girl, I use to pick them and suck the drops of nectar out of the flowers (and I do mean drop). Use to keep me entertained for hours. My mum use to love and loathe it, as it would keep me quiet for a good hour or so, however when I was done there was this mangled pile of grevillea flowers where I had been sitting.
