We are getting close to the flowering time for the Proteas. The Protea is South Africa’s national flower.
Here three pics taken in the wild giving a glimpse into its diversity and beauty.
The Pin cushion which is part of the Protea genre
Cold and rainy in Cape Town. Eldest daughter and the two grand kiddies arriving for a three week visit this afternoon, so I may be somewhat scares during the next twenty one days. Will miss the rugby this afternoon so those who will be watching enjoy on my behalf too, please.
Have a great Saturday evening wherever you are and whatever you do.




Must admit I am partial to the pink one
Pretty flower, the proteas. Have a nice visit with your family!
Enjoy your visit!
Lovely flower. Enjoy the visit.
Such beautiful flowers.
Pragtig!! I hope you are well, Newsy?
The naming of the cricket team has spoilt those for me …
