A King Protea .... by ludwigsdiana

A King Protea ....

seen at a local store and the only shot I got. They do not like cameras, so security promptly told me not to take any pictures.
A wonderful looking flower. I googled protea, because I thought it might be what you call a "suikerbossie". For some weird reason I know that name, probably because of our connection with South Africa.

I love proteas, they are gorgeous. Same problem at our shopping centre. We aren't allowed to take photos there either. I do, but try my best not to get caught.

Oops! Glad you were able to sneak this one. Very unusual camera. They don't seem to mind cameras at our local stores. At least they have never called me out on it.

I am not sure I have ever seen one! It is so beautiful and interesting. Glad you got a picture. Most stores here don't care at all. It is fun to get one when you know you shouldn't isn't it?

It was well worth the “steal”!

In our garden/flower shops they like you take flower pic.s`. Cheap advertising

@bintal that is very interesting Sylvia, it is a mountain pass between Hout Bay and LLandadno here on the Atlantic Seaboard. There is also a restaurant called Suikerbossie there. Maybe you have been there ;-)
