Protea

I so love proteas, i take the chance to photograph them as much as i can, they are originally from South Africa, I have a few planted in my aussie paddock and i call that patch South Africa…lol..i did have about 30 of them, some have died because of the drought here and a few were eaten by my neighbours sheep that kept getting into our yard..lol..
There are a few left and i am eagerly watching them as there are a few flowers about to appear.
