Protea Flower heads



I received a beautiful bouquet recently that included some gorgeous Protea flowers, I left them in a vase on the window sill for sometime and all the other flowers wilted and died the Proteas however have dried out and I think improved with age especially the muted colours.

Oh I love Proteas - also painting and drawing them.

I agree with you Dee and also like the way the leaves have arced as they dried, Lesley

very apt for the World Cup as the protea is South Africa's national flower!
