So often when I plan a photo shoot, it rains. I go on holiday, rain is almost guaranteed. So this shot, I went to the zoo – all the animals were hiding, so I did the best I could with a rainy day. © Sara Lamond 2007. All rights reserved. / / / / / / / / / / / / /

These very beautiful flowers are also called Serruria. The photo was desaturated and then the history brush applied. Although the petals appear white naturally, there are subtle colours which became visible in this process.

FEATURED IN THE GROUP: In the Pink / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Indigenous to East & Southern Africa / FEARUTED IN THE GROUP: Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Orothamnus & Serruria / TOP 10 IN A CHALLENGE IN THE GROUP: Endangered or Vulnerable Plants Taschja and I went to a “Fynbos” exhibition today and came across this wonderful little Protea, it was no bigger than the palm of my hand and the most beautiful pink color. For the life of me I could not find any more info on this Protea species. The only info we got was from the owner of the Wittkoppen Fourways Indigenous Nursery that told us that this little Proteas name was Ivy. / Taschja could not resist it and bought herself one to plant in her garden

WINNER OF A CHALLENGE IN THE GROUP:Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Orothamnus & Serruria / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: Proteas, Leucadendron, Leucospermum, Orothamnus & Serruria The Protea on the left in the front of this capture is the Waratah from Australia and the Protea right to the back (in soft focus) is the King Protea of South Africa. As I have priviously stated Australia can claim the Waratah as their own proteacae. This is why I call this capture Two Worlds / Information on the Waratah: / Waratah (Telopea) is a genus of five species of large shrubs or small trees in the Proteaceae, native to the southeastern parts of Australia (New South Wales and Victoria) and Tasmania. / The generic name Telopea is derived from the Greek ‘telopos’, meaning ‘seen from afar’, and refers to the great distance from which the crimson flowers are discernible. The specific name speciosissima is the superlative of the Latin adjective ‘speciosus’, meaning ‘beautiful’ or ‘handsome’. ‘Waratah’, the Aboriginal name for the species, was adopted by early settlers at Port Jackson. / Camera: Canon 400D / Lens: Canon Macro 100mm

FEATURED IN THE GROUP: In the Pink The King protea was originally from the Cape Town area of South Africa. It is actually the national flower of South Africa. Now King proteas can be found all over the world where the atmosphere is dry and the soil has good drainage. It can even be found on Maui. / The flower of the king protea can get to be 12 inches across. On the outside it has many stiff, pointed, narrow bracts, or petals, that give it the appearance of a cup. The bottom half of the petals start out cream colored or yellow, which turns into bright pink or velvet red on the top half. Inside the cup is a mass of white stamen about 1-2 inches long which all bend towards the center. Proteas live in a fragile environment. Of the 370 protea species, about 120 of them are listed as endangered. / Camera: Canon 400D / Lens: Canon Macro 100mm
