      Unusual flower, seed etc. Great series of photos.

      I have just sent an email to a Flickr contact I have in South Africa, www.flickr.com/photos/29757709@N04/ who has a great South African website www.gardeninginsouthafrica.co.za/ as I can't find the plant listed there. Hopefully she will contact you with a request to put these photos on her website. I have some of mine there.

      Awesome collage of great shots, my friend!
      Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

      PS: That Grevillea flower was photographed at the Ecological Park, here in Americana city, Brazil... At that location there are many species originated from several countries around the world.

      Thanks for your kind visit and comments. Much appreciated!
      You're always very welcome!
