TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Pincushion Hakea


Hakea laurina, the pincushion Hakea, at present flowering in
great profusion in our park. One of the many endemic flowering
plants we planted some 18 years ago that have grown to large
mature shrubs feeding both birds and bees.


Above, two stages of the bud and below, just as the flowers
unfurl to their beautiful pom-poms.


Photos of course enlarge.
