delicate
petals reaching out
from the heart
This beautiful flower and its siblings caught our eye in a nursery garden at Pomonal recently when we visited Gariwerd/Grampians national park.
There was some debate when Jill asked for ID help online with Isopogon Cone Bush and Granite Petrophile offered. It seems to be the latter and is native to Western Australia.

The flower is quite beautiful as is your haiku. The potential double meaning for heart gives it a certain richness.

Thanks Annette. This is a West Australian native, the wildflowers over there in Spring are the best in Australia.

This Flower looks happy with its Family (petals).

It was very happy although it is not a native plant of this area so they are only found in people’s gardens.

It was beautiful Vashti. This is a native of Western Australia and was on display with local plants as part of a wildflower exhibition.

Thanks Pat. It is a very unique flower, this was the first example of this plant I have seen, they are native to Western Australia on the other side of the country.

I love the textures – this plant would look great in an English Cottage Garden – if it would survive.

Thanks for the comment. These plants need plenty of Aussie sun, there may be some in the hot houses at Kew Gardens but not out in an English Cottage garden.
