Protea cynaroides

A bee entering the blossom. They become totally concealed. Almost got stung 💥 #kingprotea #bee

🔝look at post above. All your bee 🐝 solutions

Wonder if it needs cleaning and maintenance 🙄

I couldn't help it @llamadrama had to share this with you.

@gjones yes they are. Flowers more often than not which is a bonus

OMG it's gorgeous! I am so envious you're able to grow these 😄 I'd love to see the progress pix

@geehawker - WOW!! 🌴🌺🐾

@llamadrama need to use my gopro and do a time lapse. They take awhile to fully open however. Maybe a few progress shots in a collage will suit...ill give it a go. A few new buds forming 😎

That would be lovely Gerard, thank you so much!! @geehawker

🌺wow that will be great Gerard.. they have the biggest flower out of the protea, don’t they? Look forward to seeing it open fully..

@Joan323 huge flower yes. I shall be ready to record the next one. The plant can look a bit scraggly if not cut back. Puts all its energy into flowering 😊

🌺great, I look forward to seeing it..

Clearly had rain lastnight.

Lovely 😍
