Kangaroo Paw Flower

A friend who came for dinner Friday brought a bunch of native wildflowers - waratah, flannel flowers and kangaroo paws, with eucalyptus and unidentifiable soft red leaves. (The plant ID app let me down.) They survived several hours in the sink, then the cat knocking over the vase.

The furry red buds are 2-3cm long, the flowers tiny.
