King Proteas
Recently on a trip to the Prahran Markets in Melbourne,
I spotted the flower which I call
my 'go to bloom'
............. the King Protea
the South African native
and a cousin to Australia's beloved Banksia,
it's spectacular size, colour and structure,
and a cousin to Australia's beloved Banksia,
it's spectacular size, colour and structure,
is always a lovely and unexpected floral option for any interior.

Gorgeous images of a gorgeous flower. So sculptural! (Although I do have to confess I think I like the banksia a tad even more.)
ReplyDeleteYes V, I think i'd have to agree with you about the Banksia! They always conjure up memories of those beautiful Margaret Preston paintings from the 1920's and '30's.
