I have seen so many photos of these flowers, I have seen them on stamps, books, you name it, seen it
Never, ever seen one of these in the flesh, and driving alonng at 120 110kms an hour, I spotted this little bunch on the side of the road I'm so happy to have finally seen this for real and be able to take a photo of it, they are a special looking flower and I feel like I just struck gold :-)
