These plants are growing in the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah, about 30 miles from Sydney.
The flower colour is stunning, unlike any other flower I've ever seen.

Amazing pictures! I have a little one planted out into it's second winter with a polycarb shelter for protection. The teeth on the leaves are vicious.
