Unusual Western Australia Native Plant

My Diplolaena Grandiflora ( a grafted plant) has its first flower. It is endemic to Western Australia so it will be a challenge to get it to grow in Victoria. It is also known as the Wild Rose or Tamala Rose though it does not belong to the rose family. A showy upright shrub from 0.5 - 3 metres, it has clusters of red stamens in the center of the flower which is surrounded by pinkish-red bracts. The leaves are a soft grey color- a really lovely native shrub and a beautiful addition to my garden.
