PROTEA 'pink ice' ...

 

A small series of very colourful and more 'exotic' flowers!

Protea neriifolia/Protea 'pink ice'. They look soft and furry but are actually quite 'leathery', waxy?

This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.

I buy this beauty for Paul, because it reminds him of South Africa, it is the National Flower, it is especially the particular fragrance (fijnbos) but of course also the stunning and 'shining' colours of this beautifully structured flower that is so enticing.

A stunning flower, exotic, well to us, not in the countries where they grow naturally.

I always say it, one man's exotic is another man's 'daily'... lol

 

I again tried to photograph them in the 'style that I love so much, a bit moody, playing with the light and dof.

 

Thank you, M, (*_*)
