They are intriguing ... would be interesting to know if it the effect is natural or light-induced

If I recall correctly they are flowers from a succulent. They were in the Botanic Gardens and are not native to Australia. I recall they were in the section featuring cactii and suculents.

Most plants bear fruit or at least a thin fruiting body. The latter being the case with Heliconia to help attract insects, birds and small mammals to help disperse their seeds.

I looked them up, they don't produce fruit we'd find in grocery stores or fruit markets.

I apologise. I only studied for 6 years in Horticulture, I don't care anymore."
