    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Formerly known as Dryandra carlinoides, this small, unassuming shrub often goes unnoticed until mid to late winter when it erupts with ping-pong sized flowers that look eerily like eyeballs. Not a plant for the paranoid types, but a crown pleaser otherwise.
