Corona Virus Flowers?

These curious flowers are from our native Pincushion Hakea (Hakea laurina) from Western Australia.
        The photo above shows the early stage of the flower when the styles haven't fully opened.
 Here above the styles have fully extended to look like many pins in a pincushion, hence the name.

I saw this sort of plant yesterday but didn't have your very amusing thought about it.
It is a beautiful plant.
