Hakea cucullata

Hakea is a large genus in the Protea Family native to Australia. Though different species are found in various part of the country, the greatest concentration occurs in the southwest, in the winter-rainfall region. This is true for Hakea cucullata, which comes from the south coast of Western Australia, to the southeast of Perth. It is a large shrub, eventually attaining a height of up to 13 feet, or 4 m. The clusters of pink flowers, with extended stigmas, are not large, but they are quite attractive - and all the more appealing for they way they are cupped by the rounded wavy-edged leaves.

#2069 - Hakea eriantha - Tree Hakea

A shrub to small tree native to the Eastern states of Australia, usually at higher alitudes in Eucalypt woodland or the edge of rainforests. Given the weather in Canberra when I took these photos, it probably felt right at home. The flowers are densely hairy - hence 'eriantha'. Its fast growth in cool wet conditions makes it a useful garden plant in some areas, and the large seeds are eaten by at least two species of cockatoo.

Got my car back from the mechanics after a month out of action. Quick jaunt to Myponga CP to make sure it all works. Met some cool Acacia verticillata, some nice blooming Leucopogon virgatus beard heath, and most excitement, a Hakea rostrata.

Pin cushion ピンクッション しらべもの 魅力的な花、興味深い葉、丈夫な体。 花が開花したときの形が針山のように見えることでピンクッションと呼ばれています。 ピンクッションはオーストラリア特有のものであり、多くの種があります。 オーストラリア南西部で最も愛されている在来植物の1つであり、オーストラリアやその他の国で大量に栽培されています。 丸みを帯びたピンクッションの花は、柔らかなカーディナルまたはチェリーレッドで、熟成すると白から淡いピンクの長いスタイルが突き出てきます。そしてほのかに心地よい香りでミツバチを魅了し、花を訪ねを感じさせてくれます。 花言葉: どこでも成功を！花言葉は花姿からきており、針のような沢山のおしべが
空に向かってまっすぐ伸びていることにちなんだものです。 Memo Very hardy with attractive flowers, interesting foliage and sculptured growth habits. It is so called because its shape when it blooms looks like a pincushion. Pin-cushion Hakea is one of the most admired native plants of south-western Australia, and is grown in quantity in Australia and other countries. The rounded pin-cushion flower heads are soft cardinal or cherry red, with projecting long styles, white to pale pink on aging. A faint, pleasant scent can be detected and bees have been seen visiting the flowers. The language of flowers: The language of flowers comes from the appearance of flowers, and there are many stamens like needles. It is named after it stretches straight toward the sky. #australian #native #wildflowers #aboriginal #pincushion #hakea https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVhfwkPSGO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
