Hakea is a genus of about 110 species of shrubs and small trees native to Australia, and particularly Western Australia. Many species of Hakea are popular as ornamental garden plants. The most popular being the Pincushion Hakea (Hakea laurina) shown here, which flowers profusely throughout the winter. Each flower head is about 5 cm across and covered with creamy white protruding styles like pins from a pincushion. Photo credit: Fir0002 |
