Look at this flower

I was at Fresh Market on Friday and saw this cool flower, which made me think of artichokes.

It's a pink ice protea, apparently, and after thinking about it, I went back today and bought some. 



I'm looking forward to seeing how they open up!

  1. I love that flower; it's like a tulip on steroids. Very unusual. I'm always attracted to unique blooms.

    1. The woman said it may not open much, but still, I'm interested to see how it changes. She said it would last a long time!

  2. It does absolutely look like a pink artichoke. Or maybe an alien. Sleep with one eye open.

    1. It is! Makes me wonder what other interesting flowers are brought over from Africa.

  4. It looks like a cross between a tulip and a pineapple!
