Took this image in Madeira, grown mainly for their colourfully bracted flower heads.

GAV - Sep 06, 2008 11:49 PM EDT Chriss, what a lovely close up of your Protea and all the hungry
Bees. To me this looks like the Waratah tree from Australia. I had one in my garden, for the memories of a Special little Grandaughter. Sadly it was in a too damp a spot and fell over. Thanks for the memories it brought.

TMR8 - Feb 11, 2008 07:00 PM EDT Wow!!!! Fantastic flower and the colour. Love the details showing the Bees also. Beautiful
Jas - Jan 09, 2008 05:02 PM EDT This is a nice view of the Protea. You've got nice detail there, with all the wasps investigating between the petals.
