Ruby and emerald kangaroo paw
NB: image has been turned for artistic effect and detail. These are vertical spikes.
A spectacular colour blend of bright red and shimmering emerald green fuzzy flowers are produced on this native kangaroo paw plant.
The flower tip spreads fanlike into several petals and in this image, one can see a flower that has opened at top. Loved by honeyeater birds.
Kangaroo paw plants are genus Anigozanthos within family Haemodoraceae, the bloodroot family. Native range being the south-west of this country.
This is specifically an Anigozanthos manglesii hybrid 'Bush Dance Rambudan'.
A tiny midge rests on one of the buds - can you spot it?
Growing to 80 cm in height.
