Dont know what happened. Wreath Lechenaultia - Leschenaultia Macrantha.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...009/06/788.jpg

Interesting form, it is in the bush or in a private garden?

Found this water plant in Donkey Pool at Charnley River Station off the Gibb River Road Last year (July).

Don't know what it is. Anyone know ?

Deano,
Looks as though it is under water. Is it?
Actually after looking at it for a while [with a glass of red] if it is underwater it looks like what they call a water pincushon - Eriocaulon setaceum.
The stems are suspended under water and in the dry appear above the water level bearing pin like flowers.
You can see the start of the formation of them in the center of the flower.
Looks better underwater than above.

Yes, you're right. Approx. 70-80% of the plant is under water. Not straight up and down but lying over. The top layer of fronds and stems is above the water. The whole plant is about 6-8" long and apears to be floating in the pool, ie. not tethered, but I could be wrong here as I didn't go mucking about with it. Looked at heaps of rock pools and waterways off the Gibb River Road but this was the only place I saw this plant.
