Rolling on the floor laughing I saw it & thought, "Oh, someone else has a grevillea."
Didn't recognize it as ours.

These are great plants, and take little water once established.
Like so many Australian plants, they look almost alien,
but very pretty. And pretty bullet proof so far.
They can get huge, but can be kept smaller, even in
a good sized pot.

Here are some pics just now....Tithonia diversifolia
in back, matilija poppies on the right (2 awesome plants),
and this plant in the foreground, with another species
(larger, darker green, with red flowers) of Grevillea (~8' tall)
on the left.
