My Pincushion Plant has blossoms again and this is the first and the largest as it opens, 4" across! While most flower petals are delicate, I love this because as I touch it, it feels strong and solid, bringing such a different variety to the garden. And that color! What a bright spot it lends in the yard!
@johnfalconer I always thought this was an Australian flower, so probably akin. I also see Diana posting them from S Africa. I'm just happy if I can keep it surviving here in So Cal! ... Looked yours up, and this doesn't have the distinct petals at its base, and the leaves are different...so, Pincushion...
