Protea paparazzi have, as is to be expected, no respect for plant privacy. No notion exists of possible sensibilities that a Protea scolymocephala flowerhead might harbour regarding its private parts or reproductive equipment.
Similar to forensic photography used on the corpses of murder victims, there is no limit to where the inquisitive investigator may go. And no deterrent from recording the most intimate details accompanied by bold discussion for ensuring full disclosure in pursuing all items of interest.
This is not very different from what medical science does about patient anatomy, but that happens in closed circles among professionals with appropriate care and a plethora of rules about the scientific context and propriety.
Ironic that people, the only bashful species laden with social conventions on privacy and variable taboos regarding selected body parts, is out-breeding its fellow beings of all other species on earth at a rate that threatens biodiversity (Eliovson, 1983; Rourke, 1980; http://pza.sanbi.org).
