Leucospermum rodolentum, a busy stem tip

Clusters of up to four Leucospermum rodolentum flowerheads may share the same branch end, although solitary flowers are also borne, always at a branch end.

Resources may be shared to produce a couple flowering simultaneously, but commonly they are sequenced to replace one productive landing spot for the pollinators with another, ready at a later stage.

Care and consideration for one’s customers go a long way towards cementing healthy trade relations (Manning, 2009; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Coates Palgrave, 2002; iSpot).
