Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 17529
One of Marwell's Amur Leopards. Photographing these is challenging - it's through either dirty glass or wire fencing.

A child, unconcerned, lost in thought before the great mother.
In so many ways the child is me. And in so many ways, I am lost.

Another iphone snap the iPhone X this time and if I had waited and faffed about with a camera this one second long dirty look Sam gave Beau would not have been one of my favourite happy memories of her.. Sam was named by Jonathan's late wife and I thought "what sort of a name is that " she was already nicknamed Sam and we were forever saying she is a she not a he lol... Our darling Sam acted oddly one day and took off running from our car as we were putting the dogs in.. We had to leg it to catch up with her and put her in the large comfortable boot of our car. As we did so I was shocked and told Jonathan " Sams gone blind " I could tell her pupils had simply filled the coloured part of her eye. We got he to the vet immediately where she was diagnosed as completely deaf as well as completely blind with a brain tumour and told nothing could be done for her...we were in shock and she was put to sleep that same morning..her memory lives on through our memories and by having many photos' of her as I have of all my pets I thought this summed up her wonderful nature as after being interrupted from her sleep by Beau she just lay back down..she was so good natured ...Sue ..:)
I am way behind on Flickr, stuff been happening.....nothing to do with illness or anything like that but enough to make me
'feel' ill that's all....I hope to gradually catch up...
The most beautiful music in the world is your own heartbeat, it assures you that you will survive even when the whole world leaves you alone.
La più bella musica del mondo è quella dei battiti del tuo cuore stesso, ti dà la certezza di sopravvivere anche quando tutto il mondo ti lascia da solo.
I made the most of the sun and the last of the bluebells with help from my eldest daughter this evening.
Wheely Down, near Warnford.
I thought that I would go for a short drive to see cornfields and trees, as i have not been out cycling as much as usual as strained foot several weeks ago.
