Default wet feet.

I,ve lost about 40 Grevillia shrubs and tree's due to the constant wet
weather, Even the good old Ned Kellie's are looking a bit sad. So does
anyone know of any varieties that do well in wet weather. With heavy
frosts in winter..

There's a load of Banksia's that haven't noticed it's raining, One old
man Banksia, about 5 meters high, has been in three inches of water for
about a week, and is still showing new flowers.

Mind you the bonus is the bottlebrush and the melaleuca's are going
great guns, as are a couple of Waratah's ,
But it looks like the grevillea's will need to be dug out , some
have gone distinctly "sticky" with only green foliage at the top ,
and all dead wood below.
