Truly Magical...

Truly magical is how I feel about the pin cushion hakea flowers.
 Each year I am mesmerised as if seeing them for the first time. 
The transitions these flowers go through to bloom is indeed unusual. 
The unfolding of the flowers is not a quick process. 
The soft white  scales which cover the flowers takes a few days, sometimes longer to shed.
 Once the flower is completely free it then begin to transform into a beautiful globular flower. 
Hakea Laurina blooms from April until July, which means I am enthralled for months...
