too many cultivars of the red/burgundy leucadendron... unless you have them side by side and even then its difficult ...
'sunset' variety comes to mind, yet then there is ' wilson's' .. 'safari sunset' endless names... its very popular with cut flower industry, so cultivars galore as are the names... that's why when one brings plants home from nursery one has to religiously take the label off and stick it into one's garden notebook along with address etc of the nursery.. or the wholesale supplier.. if one ever wants to study it.. hybridizers identify parents based on seeds, then form color flower cone etc and ultimately by DNA fingerprinting... in garden shows i have heard people say ( i hope flippantly) that if you want to start a cut flower business, just plant a few leucadendrons and you'll get off to a running start.. so there has been this rush to hybridize madly what you have is a plant that someone planted a few years ago only... so difficult to say ..???species.. FYNBOS area scientists may recognize the cultivar... from these pictures.. but there is haze in the pictures, color is not saturated to be true colors of the bracts or cones are not really visible... etc etc sorry AArti I know you like to nail down a diagnosis but cant force it in all cases usha di On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 8:10 PM, Aarti S.
