Not sure if it is a Protea as they seem to have an outer ring of petals or bracts:-

Cyclops, the Brits do seem to be taking over the planet. Oh no sorry, we once did have half the world coloured pink and lost it!

Greetings to all Brits from Nottingham, UK. It would be nice if all Internet forums listed under author where the person came from. It often makes your answers to their questions more relevant when it comes to things like equipment sources.
