RE: Beach Flowers
Cannot remember seeing this lovely flower before, bit of a shock finding it on a beach @papilloncharity
National flower of Zimbabwe. (Bit of interesting information from Wiki)
Gloriosa superba is the national flower of Zimbabwe (where it is a protected plant). A diamond brooch in the shape of the flame lily was a gift from Southern Rhodesia (modern day Zimbabwe) to Queen Elizabeth II on a visit in 1947 while she was still the crown princess.
So interesting Lady Joan. One can let one's imagination run wild about the flower's journey to SA?
