Our National flower - The..........King Protea!

On our weekend trip to the Pilansberg, we visited the Sun City Resort. In the foyer was this magnificent flower arrangement consisting of our National flower....... the Protea.

Okay, so they aren't your conventional, pretty flower, and they smell nothing like roses, but they definately demand a second look because of their unusual artichoke appearance and glorious colours!

What an interesting looking flower. I like things a bit out of the ordinary (you may have guessed that already)
