2012-05-12 Protea nana open

Protea nana grown from seed. Occasional dilute fertilizer. Outside in full sun in the summer. It's still in the greenhouse right now because the usual growing area has been usurped. I hope to have it outside by midsummer, back in the greenhouse for the winter and then planted in March 2013 with the rest of the Protea test subjects.

The little center part opens filament by filament (these are the real flowers and the red part is just a protective bract, just like most inflorescences)
