Leucospermum pedunculatum

Leucospermum pedunculatum is an evergreen, low shrub of 15–30 cm (5.9–11.8 in) high, spreading from a single stern upright stem, from the family Proteaceae. The powdered or hairless, line-shaped to somewhat sickle-shaped leaves are 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long and 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) wide. The stalked, individually set flower heads are globe-shaped, 2½−3 cm (1.0−1.2 in) in diameter consist of initially white to pale cream flowers that eventually turn carmine. From the center of the flowers emerge straight styles that jointly give the impression of a pincushion. It is called white-trailing pincushion in English. It flowers from August to January, peaking in September. It is an endemic species that is restricted to a narrow strip on the south coast of the Western Cape province of South Africa....read more on Wikipedia.
