Foxtails (Andersonia caerulea), an Ericaceae shrub from SW Western Australia. It may be small (0.05-1m), but the amount of flower it can produce seems unlimited.
Richea scoparia. This Tasmanian alpine Ericaceae bush relies on a skink (Niveoscincus microlepidotus) for pollination, despite the skink is not its pollinator. In order to protect the flowers from the harsh alpine conditions, its petals fused to form a structure called calyptra, which stops insects from entering the flowers. But the skink loves the nectar, and it removes the calyptra by eating it to reach the nectar, thus opening the flowers for the pollinators. Fascinating coevolution.
