I find the single petaled spade flowers quite intriguing in their oddness ... a bit like the fascination with Princess Beatrice's odd hat at the wedding.

Looking for the King 7 - Blue Bloods
The blue bloods are gathering with their funny hats and some red blood for good measure - yep we are getting closer. Spade flowers - Hybanthus monopetalus, Blue Dampiera, bloodwood (maybe)

Those spade flowers are quite exquisite with their delicate colourings and markings - little treasures nestled amid the bush.
Very pretty and odd too. One thing I would say in defence of Bea and the hat, it raised $130,000 for children's charities.
Lol, Bea's hat was rather striking, but I think the flower is prettier - I like the colour at least.
Those single petaled flower is so unusual. I have never seen one. The other one looks like one I saw in WA. So bring on the king!
I love these blue flowers, they are so sweet. I wonder if they smell nicely:)
Yes, it leaves me wondering what in their environment caused them to develop in this lop-sided way.
I thought the little blue flowers were quails - very nice!
