The sign on the bucket said "Hakea Peach", but I can't find any references for that name anywhere. Perhaps some more plant savvy readers can help? I'm going to try and find the time this week to have a play around with some designs, using these beautiful shapes as a spring-board.

I think this may be the fruit from a Hakea shrub, there are over 100 species in Australia. It belongs to the same family as the Banksia and the Waratah. Hope this helps.

Thanks Oops-Lah - I just couldn't find the right Hakea! Nic
Can't wait to see your design, what a lovely inspiration for you...
Looks like one of the Hakeas to me - it's absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see what you come up with when sketching it out!
I am such a city slicker. And that Hakea-whatsit-doovy-thing looks like inspiration with bells on.
Looks like a fab design in the making! I would have no idea what plant it is though :)
No help from me I am sorry to say..but I can see where you would find inspiration from them. xox
