Flower on a bush at a local park. I think it a variety of Grevillea.

Now this one looks like the mothership Bruce. Really haven't had enough coffee yet this morning. Love sharp shot with great colors.

This is actually the underside of the flower. From the front it resembles a spider. I took a few pics head on but with the breeze, camera in one hand, flower in the other and low light, I could not get anything decent. Again I can only try tomorrow, weather permitting.

Thanks all for your kind comments.

I managed to return to the Grevillea today and get a few more shots. Not the same flower but as close as I could find. I also got some more of the other bush which I have since learnt that it a variety of Hakea. I will post them a bit later

You've caught that Bee in flight beautifully.
