Friends from Australia are visiting so what do I do? I take them to the Australian Collection in the UC Davis Arboretum ! It felt both wrong and right at the same time. But they enjoyed seeing plants they’re familiar with growing so far away from home. I hadn’t been to the Australian Collection in a few months, and I was very surprised to see that the grevilleas that had been in bloom in the winter were still going strong. In a spot they like, these beautiful down-under shrubs bloom almost year round. Grevillea ‘Mason’s Hybrid’
