Phaedranassa cinera

Paddy Tobin:
Hans,

Quite an extraordinarily long thin flower - fertilised by what I wonder?

Also, an odd combination of colours. An old fashion adage went, 'red and green should never be seen'.

Paul T:
Paddy,

I'd be assuming honeyeaters, most likely Hummingbirds, would be the pollinators?  Given the flowers are red that usually (but not exclusively) means bird pollinators.  Great pic Hans

Carlo:
Color (although not totally determinative) and flower shape almost certainly make hummingbirds the pollinators.

It's a beauty, by the way...
