Leucospermum 'Blanche Ito'

Well, spring is here, and the leucospermums are really putting on a show at the Ruth Bancroft Garden. This one is a hybrid named 'Blanche Ito'. Leucospermum is an African genus in the Protea Family, and while these plants are found in southeastern Africa, the majority come from the southwest in the winter-rainfall area. The flower heads feature long styles that extend outward, and this results in the common name "pincushions".
