Also known as Trigger Grass, Stylidium Pink-a-Saurusis a stunning tufting Australian Native that features blue foliage and clusters of deep pink flowers held above the foliage The common name comes from the unusual way these flowers disperse pollen; they have a cocked trigger that springs upwards when an insect visits the flower and dumps a load of pollen on the back of its head; the insect then deposits on other flowers as it goes about its business. People can trigger the same explosive reaction as insects by tickling the inside of the flower with a bit of stiff grass. Once triggered, the column needs about an hour or more before it can hit again. Pink-a-saurus is perfect for rockeries, verges, native gardens, poolside, coastal gardens, pots and containers. Trim the spent flower stems to keep the plant tidy
