Can anyone ID the big white and red flower in the lower right hand side? My Mom received this bouquet and we have no idea what that one is. Thanks!Thumb of 2013-01-06/goldfinch4/9d9e7c

It appears to be some type of Protea.

I garden for the pollinators.

Is it connected to any of the foliage? Not that I would then know what it is... just curious.

Thanks Tee - that's it!

The long oval shaped leaves leaves directly behind the flower are it's foliage.

Thanks, if I ever see leaves like that, I'll check to see if it's one of these plants. Smashing flower!
