Petal Pink

Petal Pink
I was given a flower and i can’t find out what it is! Pink with black fur tips, feels like velvet.?

The flower was about 4-5 inches tall, and 3ish inches across. The petals were only about a 1/4 inch wide and they pretty much just stuck staight up. As it dried it kept its shape and color. The pink was a very soft baby pink, and the tips were jet black, almost like fur. I really loved this flower but have no idea what it was.

It’s a Pink Mink Protea

The description was perfect really since it’s such a distinctive flower.

Biggest picture of the type but not with the jet black tips -http://www.flowerpictures.net/maui_flowers/mauiflowers_pages/protea-16.htm
