Native to South Africa they grow well in San Francisco, where the image was taken. In my opinion the image has encyclopedic value because it showing the bud in process of transition to become a flower. Proposed caption Nodding Pincushion Protea,Leucospermum 'Veldfire' Flower Bud in process of flowering transition from a bud to a flower
The timber is used for plywood, light construction, pulp and paper, boxes and crates, dug-out canoes, and furniture components. Kadamba yields a pulp of satisfactory brightness and performance as a hand sheet. The wood can be easily impregnated with synthetic resins to increase its density and compressive strength. The wood has a density of 290 ...

Latent bud – an axillary bud whose development is inhibited, sometimes for many years, due to the influence of apical and other buds. Also known as a dormant bud. Leaf bud – a bud that produces a leafy shoot. Mixed – buds that have both embryonic flowers and leaves. Naked – Pseudoterminal – Reproductive – buds with embryonic flowers ...
Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.
The flower buds are borne in leaf axils on a branched peduncle 3–10 mm (0.1–0.4 in) long, each branch with three buds on pedicels 1–6 mm (0.04–0.24 in) long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long and 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) wide with a rounded, conical or slightly beaked operculum. Flowering occurs in ...

Other flowers then grow from lateral buds. Indeterminate and determinate inflorescences are sometimes referred to as open and closed inflorescences respectively.
