Here in Pikes Market, Everlasting are available on summer time, i always thought they are cheesy too,as fresh flowers they are pretty, i buy them cuz it reminds me of home,they get discarded when the leaves are wilted.Beautiful pic!!

@Krissy, from my cursory search, it seems Protea sp. belongs to a different family, Proteaceae. I’ll have to unearth my old copy of the Flora of Manila when I go back home to be able to tell you the taxonomic differences, hehe. Plant taxonomy in college was such a long time ago…

the dried everlasting are horrible for my asthma – dust gathers among the petals, and the pollen flies at the slightest breeze, but your pictures made me see how beautiful they really are.

@ Pia, would these be a genus related to Proteas? These sure look like proteas.

Ahh, “everlasting flowers” that simply refuse to die and even keep their natural colors. I got those too when I graduated from high school :-) Thanks for sharing MM. BTW, I love the 2nd shot with the wrinkled newspaper wrapping for a background. It has this “Impressionistic” quality to it.
