It is a rhizotomous perennial with long, grey-green linear leaves up to 60 cm long. The leaves extend from a central point at ground level. Its fantastically shaped red and green flowers appear at the end of long stalks in Spring. These stalks can reach a height of over 1m from the base. The flowers open in sequence from the lowest point and spent flower-stalks may remain on the plant well after their colour has faded. Flowers are tubular and elongated, the tips of the 6 fused petals bending back when open to reveal the 6 stamens. Flowers contain nectar that is a food source for many birds, who in turn act as pollinators for the flowers. In November 1960, Anigozanthos manglesii was adopted as the floral emblem of Western Australia.<br /> Family: Haemodoraceae &nbsp; Genus: Anigozanthos &nbsp; Species: manglesii &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Red<br />Member - John and ValMon, 02 Feb 2015 14:57:00 GMTRed Buglehttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/230+red-buglehttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/230+red-bugle<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/230+red-bugle"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W230__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> A tufted herb with wiry strap-like leaves about 30cm long.
