I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel

Many thanks to Wayne of the UK (aka WLA@Flickr) for submitting today's image (BPotD Flickr Group Pool | original image). Don't forget to visit Wayne's weblog: Earth, Wind &Water!

Pincushions are a member of the protea family – to read more (and see more photographs), visit Dr. Gerald Carr's Proteaceae page and / or the Museums of Cape Town's Biodiversity Explorer, with its page on the Proteaceae.
