    Isn’t this a brilliant plant (and a lovely photo). Do you know if it is in cultivation?
    Well done.

    As far as I am aware it is in its natural form – the information used was first from the botanical gardens of Perth (Kings Park) – for the name – and then the description from the book Australian Native Plants by Geoff Bryant, Random House. Hope this helps.
