Grevillea At Their Best

Grevillea Moonlight, Elegance, Misty Pink

Grevillea are at their best around the Junction at the moment, a short stroll up to the botanic gardens retirement village this afternoon and I found some wonderful specimens to photograph. A wander around the gardens inside the complex found the plants growing well and healthy unlike many plants in the garden beds outside that have died over the past two years, due to below average rain fall. The inside garden beds have been well mulched and have in-ground sprinklers that must still be used. I'm not sure if the retirement village is connected to the recycle water that the Cranbourne Botanic gardens has access to. Junction village is so close to the recycle water pipe line that services the Botanic garden and the Cranbourne racecourse but the Junction has not yre been connected.
