Description
Don't quote me but I think this is "Hakea laurina" (Pin-cushion Hakea) a native of South Western Australia. Hakea-after Baron von Hakea, 20th Century botanist. Laurina-laurel-like, of the leaves.
Will take a few more photos as it opens & post them when time permits.
Thanx for the comments on my first real macro image. At least flowers stay still.
