Black Grevillea

My black flowered grevillea (Grevillea Crowleyea), has flowered for the first time. And the flowers really are black! Once they open up a bit they go a bit reddish but when they're new they're black. I'm pretty happy about this because most so called black flowers are really a sort of dark burgundy colour. It was discovered by an amateur naturalist Valma Crowley and her mate Janice Smith somewhere near Darken in WA. Good work guys.
