Those thorns are hidden
They are only on the underside ^^ .. sounds like a really mean trap for small animals who come to close to it
Yes indeed a nasty plant haha

Yes, it is .. there are so many beautiful flowers an trees there to admire .. you should look for one close to you too ^^
Gorgeous! Despite the thorns.
Yes .. those are extremely sharp too !! .. I tried it and was quite surprised
Beautiful color on the blooms. I wouldn’t want to grab a leave with those thorns underneath.
Plants and shrubs over here have to protect themselves when young sometimes fully grown as well, nature has a wonderful way of putting thorns where you don't expect them :)
Great to see you found one of our South African Coral trees to enjoy @adalger, I actually posted two more today from a walk around our local park, they bloom through winter and are spectacular.
Hi there ^^ .. I actually found South Africa to have a really amazing and kind of different Flora .. they all adapted to their surroundings so nicely ;)
Very hardy plants, don't need much water. The Cape fynbos is also fascinating to see if you find that at your botanical gardens.
I looked it up and it really looks sooo great ^^ .. but most matches were for the alcoholic drink with the same name ;)
Ha ha yes South Africans make alcoholic beverages with many different plants and fruits, some have very unique flavour. Our Fynbos honey is exceptionally lovely as well. Glad you had fun finding out more.
If ever you see Amarula Cream https://amarula.com/ buy a bottle and try it, simply delicious....
Gorgeous images with great colour and detail @adalger I've seen these flowers in and around Queensland and never knew what they were called .......until now. Thanks so much for enlightening me. (U & R )
Hehe ^^ .. I think by creating this botanical garden blog I myself are learning so many new facts and new things and names about nature .. glad that I also can reacv others with it too ^^ .. enjoy your week @trudeehunter ;)
