I was given some flowers yesterday, as a gift, they are beautiful, and they contain a flower that I have never seen before. I love unusual things and would love to know what it is
The head is shaped similar to a tulip but the ‘petals’ are smooth, almost waxy, with fluffy purple tips. The head is quite large, around 5 inches from base to tip. The inside is shaped, not dissimilar to a garlic bulb but twisted into a spiral.

Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

I've just been time shifted back to Chelsea flower show with the mention of protea, the South African stand was a stop you in your tracks one with their display of them, but as it's is the national flower I suppose it should be prominent
