Botanical Wonders of King Proteas
Protea plants belong to one of the oldest families of flowering plants on Earth, dating back over three hundred million years. Named after the Greek god Proteus who could change his shape, these flowers display remarkable diversity in form and size. They thrive naturally in harsh, nutrient-poor soils across Southern Africa where fire plays a vital role in their seed germination.
