Lambertia inermis

This past weekend, while visiting Sierra Azul Nursery in Santa Cruz
County, California, a flowering shrub caught my eye at the nursery's
extensive display garden.  The helpful nursery staff  checked their
references but could only come with an Australian provenance and an
acknowledgment that  yes, indeed, the shrub is rather striking.

However, they do not carry it, nor do they know where they obtained it.
The visual effect, at least from a distance, is that of  4-5 ft.  shrub,
airy and  Grevillea-like, with  clusters of small, tubular, gold and
orange flowers.  It's appears to be thriving, growing amongst some
proteas in a raised area.

I hope that some members of the group, perhaps gardeners in Oz or even
closer to home, can offer some  information on this plant and where to
get it.

Thank you,

Andrew Mariani
