| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Wavy-leaved Hakea (Hakea undulata) is a wide spread shrub native from the Hills east of Perth (Western Australia), down to the South Coast. Easy to grow from seed, it is used for erosion control and wildlife habitat, growing up to 2.5m tall.
Recognisable by its stiff, wavy, prickly leaves with pronounced veins and cross venation, which glow when seen against the sun.
The genus is a member of the Proteaceae, a Gondwanan family which also contains the better known Banksia, Grevillea and Dryandra. |

Hello Odile,
A new plant for me and very attractive at that. I like it's pretty off white flowers which grow at the base of each leaf in an alternate pattern. The veins of the leaves are very beautiful and appear almost as if illuminated. The lighting must have been somewhat challenging, yet you managed the exposure quite well. Just a tiny bit of overexposure on a few of the light colored petals. Overall a pleasing shot!
