Description
Several years after I photographed this beautiful protea bloom at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, my husband and I traveled to South Africa and saw these very large flowers everywhere. I soon learned that the protea is native to South Africa and is the country's national flower. Soon after getting back from the trip, I stumbled upon this image on my computer and instantly recognized it as the portea. I think these unique beauties are very interesting and elegant and wish it were possible to grow them in my back yard!
