Leucospermum

Leucospermum

The Proteaceae have an amazing variety of beautiful genera, but I'm particularly intrigued by the various species of Leucospermum The inflorescence of this genus reminds me of fireworks exploding in a dark sky. This one was photographed at Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Cape Town, South Africa on October 14, 2010.
