Natural beauty
I photographed these pincushions while hiking in the Jonkershoek Mountains on 24 September 2005. The beautiful colours of the flowerheads struck me. It is part of the protea family, and as far as I can tell, a leucospermum, but I am not sure of its precise name. Perhaps the strawberry pincushion, also known as Leucospermum calligerum? If you know the answer, please let me know.
