Beguiling Protea

Even if you think the Big Bang created the stars, don't you wonder who sent the flowers? ~Robert Brault

Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes.

This one certainly looked sweet enough today to be called a sugarbush. It seemed to glow - a gorgeous splash of colour on a cold grey day. What happened to Autumn? It seemed like Winter already today.
