White Spider Flowers
This morning, both sides of the Garigal Park track were scattered with Grevillea linearifolia (White spider flower). Grevillea linearfolia is an upright spreading shrub up to about 3m high. The form of Grevillea linearfolia in the park, found north of the harbour on Sydney sandstone, has slender leaves, 2-10 cm long. The underside of the leaves is covered with pale silky hairs. The flowers are white, 6mm long, with a protruding style. Grevillea linearfolia flowers July - October, so right now shrubs are covered with small buds and flowers. We can look forward to a beautiful display for quite a while yet. The flowers are white, 6mm long. Typical dry sandstone area, ideal for Grevillea Liearfolia An upright shrub up to 3metres high
