Lovely photo! Apparently these Leucospermum cordifolium flowerheads (that consist of lots of smaller "flowers") all open up facing the sun so they always face east and are sometimes called Compass Flowers. For more info see http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantklm/leucospcordifol.htm.
Stunning, what more can I say. Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat pic Firefly. We want to make a trip to the flower reserve soon too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Such vivid colours. I love these proteas - so delicate compared to some of the others!
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful! I saw some at the Cape.
