I think these are probably South African - Protea? I can remember my father coming home with some, on one occasion - had he just returned from a business trip to South Africa? Had they been sent to his office? In any case, they were tightly encased in mesh, so that the flowers didn't open and crush and disintegrate on their journey, and I thought them unbelievably exotic. Sitting in a flower shop window in Silver Lake/Sunset Junction - they are still startling, but also disquietingly artificial seeming.
