Yes it is ‘Long John’ Good call

Yes, I agree with Mike on the Grevillea sp. re Navid’s post. The flower gives it away. (I’m also from Australia, so I’m familliar with the genus, although I’m not sure on the species of this one. Perhaps Grevillea ‘Long John’.)

I am glad to have found this room so I can see all the wonderful projects you are all working on in that part of the world.
