Oleanderleaf Protea

Protea neriifolia

Description:

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.

Habitat:

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.

Notes:

You have to check out these gardens if you get the chance.
