Andrea B. Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This Hakea genus has quite some variation. Very interesting to see the examples in your recent posts. The red, green and white is striking in this visible H. decurrens. Makes one wish that maybe the UV showed a bit of variation too. :( Link to comment
