In my parent's-in-law garden. I think it's called a pin cushion? I thought it'd be prickly, but it's soft.
Lovely buds all over the bush - here comes spring! So glad to farewell winter this year, I'm over it!
Hello Kartia, your title and narrative are correct. This is a lovely shot of a Leucodendron though, one of my favourites. There are so many beautiful varieties.Just been taking pics of them too 😊
@ludwigsdiana Oh I didn't know there are different varieties. I think I've only seen this type, but that's very likely my ignorance 😱 I've never been to SA but I think I'd like it 👌👌
I adore the beautiful pincushion flowers! I purchased the plant once, but it wasn't cared for well enough while we were away for months in Nova Scotia. I still have plans to purchase another one day!
@kartia This morning when I saw it on my cell, it looked different! Now I have to correct myself as the leaves are totally different! You are right, it is a variety of Leucospermum. A very different one to what I have, mine have round buds. Sorry for the confusion and my ignorance ;-)
Tomorrow I will post a Leucadendron of which this reminded me.
@ninaganci Thanks! I live in Australia and only travel vicariously for the foreseeable future! I’ve really enjoyed seeing some of the similarities/differences around the world through 365!
