Seeds of a Calothamnus Quadrifidus or One sided bottlebrush III
It might take years before the seeds will germinate.
In this way this scrub survives drought and eventually bush fires

These seeds get so hard - rock hard and so dry. I never thought of them still being able to produce life. Interesting
