Native Australian Flowers

Need some help with the ID. I'm in Onslow for two months visiting. These are blooming now, and seem to be everywhere.

a grevillea growing in a local park.
Don't know the species, but it's very attractive shrub

That's beautiful photographed Richard. I always struggle to make a good photo of the Grevillea.

thanks Lyn
I agree, they are difficult.
This one was so photogenic, and very prolific flowering, but I remember spending quite a bit of time finding the right head to photograph

This isn't the flower but part of the plant so not sure if to post here. Seeing I started the thread I don't take liberty to do what I like
The Drosera, native sundew wasn't flowering but was showing itself off
Unfortunately bit dark down on the forest floor but wanted a photo

Barringtonia acutangula at Berry Springs, NT.

that's very pretty and delicate Pippan
I was surprised to read it's a mangrove
must be very nice to see those in profusion. Assume they grow in groups

Thanks Richard, they do grow in groups near freshwater streams and rivers. They are commonly called Freshwater Mangroves but I didn't use that name because they are not true mangroves, which grow in the saltwater intertidal zone of coastlines and inlets. They are also called Itchy Bush because of the irritant processional caterpillars they sometimes harbour.

Melastoma polyanthum, next to Walker Creek in Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory.

I've never see this flower before even though the plant that produces it grows commonly (and natively) along the edges of creeks and billabongs in the Top End, and almost always sports fruit. It's Pandanus aquaticus.

Interesting plant.
I see you can eat it after treating it, somehow.

I gather it hides itself in the foliage
