Hi Sam, thanks for the comment back. Not the same species but the same genus. This being A. psittacina - Greek for parrot and lending that to the common name for this species 'parrot flower'.
I don't mean to sound narky, but just the (ex-) teacher in me coming out and trying to make sure proper terms are used. Please accept my apologies if any offence made.
Cheers, Greg
