Along the Yarra near the flying Fox Lookout is a revegetation project. This Grevillea lavandulacea is found naturally from Melbourne through Western Victoria to South Australia. I love the way this explosion of colour dangles from the small spiky leaves. In this case the flower rests on the wire used to protect the plantings and reminds us of how hard it can be for our native wildflowers to coexist with development. Often I feel my life is on a wire so the image resonated with me.
