I am truly grateful for everyone's comments and favs, and particularly to those wonderful people who voted for my very own little pirate in the mustache theme. Thank you everyone.
@lizzy_lu123 thank you @scholzcrew thanks Sue - this is a Banksia (Oz native). Proteas are very closely related as they are also in the Proteaceae family but Proteas are from South Africa.
What a beautiful plant..I wonder if it smells as sweet as it looks?
Of course you got votes - it was a great shot, and after all, nobody in their right mind would mess with Dread Pirate Roberts!! :)
What a shame but what a lovely gift to look forward to each year. I imagine he never imagined in his wildest dreams the appropriateness of this plant when he gave it to you. Keep smiling cherub!
Yay, candles for you.... and if you don't mind sharing them with Oskar and myself :P Oskar's birthday is next Monday and mine, Wednesday.... we're all in the same week!!!
Unlike any bloom I have ever seen! Great texture and love the buttery yellow color! How tall is it? Hope the blooms made you smile... it was certainly a gift of love.
@robv Thanks Robert @lorraineb not sure - maybe... @filsie65 It doesn't have much smell, but it does have sweet nectar. ... and seriously - thanks so much for your vote XX @pizzaboy He would have really got a kick out of it I think .... the grass tree also flowered since he died and I know he'd been waiting 10 years for that to happen... @maggiemae :) I do. @ubobohobo Thanks Margaret @ozziehoffy All Aries together!

@corymbia did I mention that April 8 and 11 is Andy's brother and mother and then Elijah is April 15... so Aries all the way around here haha.... You don't have to share, keep them teehee.
You have some amazing plants and flowers, but this one is precious. I think it's flowered now because you were having a tricky time last week.. It's just for you, so thanks for sharing
