Thanks Ken. As a graphic designer I really like the natural harmony in design between the Protea and the Wattlebird. Note how the Protea's elongated eliptical pink bracts repeat the shape of the Wattlebird's folded wing feathers. There's an interesting article by Denis Wilson on the anatomy of the Protea flower that will interest an inquiring macroscopic mind such as yours, Ken.
