Botanical Name: Rosa hybrida
Common Name: Rose
Place of Origin: China
The most popular cut flower, the rose is the symbol of England and closely associated with love and St Valentine’s Day. Roses are the number 1 selling cut flower worldwide.
In the harems of the Middle East the rose was used as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly. In 1718 Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople, described this in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, which was expanded to include many other flowers, each signifying a secret message. A red rose bud stands for budding desire, while an open white rose asks "Will you love me?".
An open red rose means "I’m full of love and desire", while an open yellow rose asks "Don’t you love me any more?".
Pink roses mean ‘perfect happiness’ or ‘believe me’.

Botanical Name: Grevillea thelemanniana
Common Name: Grevillea
Place of Origin: Western Australia
Named after Charles Francis Greville who was one of the founders of the Royal Horticultural Society in England in 1804. The first specimens were collected in Australia by Joseph Banks during his voyage with Captain Cook in 1768-71.
There are now over 300 species in the genus, most of which are endemic to Australia but a few species occur in Papua New Guinea and islands to Australia’s north.
Grevilleas are a member of the Protea family and are probably the most widely cultivated Australian plant in our gardens as they grow easily, are attractive and provide food for many of our most beautiful birds.
