An interesting find on the Weekend, turn the Mountain Lilac(Prostanthera lasianthos ) flower up the other way and you will get a good representation of a "Devil mask", things you find when you take time to stop an smell the daises :)

No you turn the flower up the other way (it points down) and you get a distinct "devils mask" hope the photo my mate took comes out :)
