I went to Cape Town and Stellenbosch when I was 9 (when we left Kenya) and was struck at 9 by the incredible beauty.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286949470920383652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-24129349040505538382009-02-17T09:51:00.000+00:002009-02-17T09:51:00.000+00:00Your comments are so encouraging.

I feel the proteus flower is almost masculine, it is so strong and powerful and the combination of the female figure sets it off and balances it well. Beautiful!!!
