Just beautiful – I adore proteas – we had them in the flower arrangement at our wedding party and of course they remind me of South Africa – one of my favourite countries. Loving the light and colour in the photo too.
They are gorgeous! I’ve never seen a flower like that before, but I see from the comments that’s probably because I have not been lucky enough to go to Africa. Lovely photo.
Stunning. Love the fine detail of the textures and varying shades of pink. They are amazing looking. PS I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on! Have been offline for a while.
