Gardens by Gabriel Hi Vanessa, isn't it beautiful? This is a pincushion, specifically Leucospermum 'Scarlet Ribbons'. It's one of my favorites, good eye!

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Annie Thornton to Great Design Plant: Fan Aloe

How to use it. Sensitive to frost, fan aloe commonly grows in pots or containers, making maintenance a breeze once temperatures drop. And since the plant propagates so seamlessly through cuttings, well-packaged, thoughtful housewarming gifts abound; just add a unique vessel. In climates that don’t have freezing temperatures, add fan aloe to a sandy, barren and freely draining site. It's native to the coastal cliffs of South Africa, so you can add fan aloe to your list of plants that thrive where others fail. Its clean texture and cool gray-green color soothe surrounding landscape colors, allowing vivid plants to advance into focus. Its long-leafed foliage diversifies the silhouette of a succulent garden while still providing a minimalist, sculptural effect.Shown: Aloe plicatilis with Leucospermum and Echeveria

fan aloe The last building on the estate is Da Monsta, inspired by Frank Stella and completed in 1995. The building was designed to be an entrance pavilion for the future house-museum, but residents opposed the traffic this would create, so now the visitor center is located in downtown New Canaan, across the street from the train station.
