At the recent NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, one display area had some incredible “cakes” decorated with flowers. I loved the colors on this one.

Anyone know this one? LATER NOTE: Appears to be a kind of Leucospermum, also known as pincushion protea.

Unusual large orange flower with thin petals and curls in the center. Know it?

The NW Flower & Garden Show starts next week in Seattle. Even though the theatrical lighting can be very challenging for floral photography, there are still so many flower photo opportunities.
