("Pincushion Protea" by Lindy Acton)
To celebrate the start of spring the Elizabeth Gordon
Gallery has two new, very lovely Pincushion Proteas by Lindy Acton.
Pincushion Proteas or Leucospermum Cordifolium belong to the Protea family and are indigenous to South Africa. It grows in acid, nutrient
poor soil in a small area of the SW Cape.
The flowers attract numerous birds, and the abundant nectar flow
attracts a variety of small insects, including the scarab beetle, which in turn
attract the Cape Sugar Bird and three species of Sunbird.
The Elizabeth Gordon Gallery is situated at 120 Florida
Road. For further information phone 031 303 8133, fax 031 303 8136, email: joy@elizabethgordon.co.za
