Weekend Flowers #18 .... it's a Protea, growing in the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens, at Mt. Tomah, N.S.W., Australia.
According to their website: "the garden sits on the summit of a basalt-capped peak, 1,000 metres above sea level in the World Heritage listed Greater Blue Mountains."

What an interesting flower! Sort of like a jellyfish crossed with a cactus?
What an amazing looking flower. I went to the market a few weeks back, and they were selling protea. I bought a few to take photos of, but had never seen them before this. Lovely and amazing looking! What a perfect photo Carole!
