Does the center of the flower open up too? Or does it stay like this?

Never see this kind of flowers. Beside this Know about Nelson Mandela. He was a great Leader May God bless his Soul.
Excellent illustrations
cool! I just posted some photos I took of protea growing here in San Diego, CA. I think they're called sunrise? check them out here if you're interested! they look quite a bit different than your photos, but I can see how they'd be related :)
