Remember my post titled Fragile Vase? I went to Nacional for lunch today, and they are using the vases covered with packing tapes again.
The blooms in them are really stunning. The waitress was going to check the name of the flowers for me, but she forgot… so sorry, I don’t know the name (see Update below). Hopefully you know, and can tell us what it is.
Update:
Thank you origa-me, who has helped id the flower. The botanical name is 'Telopia Speciossisima', and the common name is 'Waratah'. It is an Australian native and the state flower of New South Wales.
Hope you are having a good week… and since weekend is not far away, I’ll wish you happy weekend too.

Stunning bloom and what a color it has. Love the idea of wrapping any old jar or whathaveyou with the tape....that makes anything useable...cooolll.
What a fun idea! Love it!
I see you have gotten the name of the flower from a commenter. Good. I have never seen anything so brightly colored and unusually awesomely shaped. I cannot even believe it could be real it is so spectacular!!! What a find!!!
