Hakea orthorrhyncha

This image shows how it looks in the garden, the small shrub reaches 2 to 3 metres tall with a similar spread.
The species was first described in 1868 by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the specific epithet orthorrhyncha which is
derived from the Greek words ortho (straight) and rhynchos (beak) alluding to the straight beak on the seed capsules. [Wiki]

I think this is a beautiful flower! Would be pretty if it bloomed at Christmas time! :) V
