Surely the most magnificent site in many Australian gardens at the moment is the beautiful Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta). The flowers can only be described as 'deep gold', definitely not yellow, and they are quite magnificent, especially as they can grow into quite large trees.

You have "gold" in the nature with this lovely tree and we have- at the moment - gold inside most of the houses where we are decorating for Christmas. I'd prefer the real gold in nature....
Have a wonderful weekend!

You're right - the Silky Oak is magnificent. The one we have up the front - which Ashley had mowed off when it was younger - Twice!!! - finally flowered this year and it was a wonderful sight. No where near as large as yours - but one day...vbg.
Gorgeous Alice! I don't remember seeing it when we lived over there. Is this tree in your yard?
It's certainly a rich, glorious golden shade. Do the birds love it?
Thanks for sharing the beauty. I need all the colour I can get at the moment. There's a dusting of snow on the ground tonight and the wind's a'blowin'.
Those golden Silky Oaks are just glorious!
What an amazing tree. How long does it stay in bloom? We have a large tabebui tree around town that's spectacular, but blooms are very short lived and carpet the ground with slippery yellowness. smile
Just found your blog and am looking forward to visiting often. Your world and mine (in middle Georgia USA )are really very similar.
