Lovely flower! Great picture!! I used to show at the Ventura Fair in Calif and we could find these at our local florst. They looked wonderful in arrangements. Can't grow them here in Kentucky, but I love seeing pictures of them.

Great pick for "bloom of the day!" What a beautiful photo of an interesting bloom! At first glance, it reminded me a lot of the "Audrey II" (the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors")... fun!

Beautiful bloom and very nice photo - I like the lighting around the hairy (?) edges.

Do Proteas grow on this continent too? I know them from the Cape region in South Africa, and some smaller types would grow in the Eastern Highlands in Zimbabwe too. They really are quite spectacular, and dry well to. Thanks for giving me a warm fuzzy moment with that wonderful photo!!
