Day 52 Greek God by name.

The Protea is one of nature’s unusual treasures.  Made to last they come in a huge array of colours and forms.  In 1735, they were named after the Greek God Proteus who could change his form at will.  But they date back to over 300 million years ago and mainly found in the southern hemisphere.  So maybe the Greek God himself did have a hand in it or they were once a dinosaur’s entrée.  Whatever you choose to believe they are a unique take on nature, and a beautiful part at that.
