Protea neriifolia
Found also at the UCSC Arboretum. Pollinated by rodents in its native habitat. Soft rodent like fur covers the inside of the flower, and top of flower petals.
In the Proteaceae family, and endemic to South Africa. I think the variety of this one is called 'Pink Mink' although dont quote me on that.
You have to check out these gardens if you get the chance.
