Grevillea

Grevillea | Olympus E-30 | Victoria park, Herston | flickr

I spotted this small Grevillea with golden flowers on my traditional lunch walk with the camera in Victoria park, Herston. I think it is a cultivar, such as Golden Lyre or something similar, and probably related to Grevillea formosa. The inflorescence is quite big, may be 30 cm, but the whole plant is small, less than one meter high. The flowers are typical for Proteaceae family. The color is very bright yellow, quite different from yellow-orange color of Silky Oak flowers.

There are several additional photos of this plant on my flickr page.
