Also known as Leucospermum cordifolium.
Leucospermum cordifolium belongs to the protea family and is indigenous to South Africa. It grows in acid, nutrient poor soils in a fairly small area in the South Western Cape, from the Kogelberg to the Soetanysberg near Bredasdorp. It is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom and occurs only in the winter rainfall area with its wet winters from May to September and hot, dry summers from December to the end of February.

The details you have captured are pretty! Love the "loopy" bits, the "sprung" bits, and the fuzzy bits! (I'm not a technical person at all, is it obvious? XD ) The colors are lovely too. Great shot. 8)
Such an appropriate title Sally. Love the colours, detail and textures. They remind me a lot of Australian native flowers (I think I've said this before). Great composition and focus.
