Now that is an odd looking flower. Like out of a sci-fi movie. Beautiful flower.

I suspect between Kai & Donna they hold the key to its true identity: Pincushion Protea (Leucospermum cordifolium) http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artdec05/bjprotea.html BTW: Very well composed.

Well of course it was a strange flower Danielle. They had it locked up in a Zoo...helloooooo! LOL. Maybe its part of some wildlife preservation program, lol. Regardless of its purpose in life...it does indeed do one thing though...and that is looking BEAUTIFUL!!! Wonderful capture once again my friend. Have a beautiful day! #:O)

Indeed it is a Protea...the wonderful island of Maui is home to many different varieties. These flowers make excellent and hearty arrangements, as they last for a VERY long time. Beautiful capture of it's natural beauty and bold colors!
