64 Pins
Protea / Named after the Greek God Proteus, these are the best known of the Proteaceae family. There are 136 species most found on the African continent. Another 82 types of Protea are found in South Africa (mainly in the Cape area) and another 35 are found in tropical Africa. There is an incredible variation in flower size, foliage form and growth habit.
Leucadendron
30 Pins

Banksia
84 Pins
Banksia / Banksia flowers are Inflorescent: that is, the flower head is made up of hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny flowers. This is a common characteristic of many flowers in the Proteaceae family, to which the Banksia belongs. Banksias make excellent cut flowers, as they have a long vase life and excellent range of colors and sizes. Their follicles are also widely used by florists because of their unique and interesting form.
Leucospermum
37 Pins
Leucospermum / These fabulous blooms are quickly becoming some of the best known members of the Proteaceae family and are easily recognized by their flower-heads with long, conspicuous styles, each one thickened at its apex to form a pollen presenter. Together, the mass of styles look like 'pins' bristling from a pincushion, a similarity that has given rise to the popular name for these Leucospermums.
Grevillea
41 Pins
Grevillea / Glorious Grevillea – beautiful flowers, unique filler, fabulous foliage and an amazing plant. This species has amazing growth habits, ranging from flowering groundcover, to beautiful scrubs and hedges, to tall colorful trees.

Foliage can be sharp and needle-like, soft and fern-like, or long branches with colorful jagged edges.
Waratah - Telopea
76 Pins
Waratah - Telopea / The name Waratah, an Aboriginal name for “beautiful” comes from the Eora people, the original inhabitants of the Sydney area.

15 Pins

These almost alien-like shrubs are becoming an extremely popular for their beautiful colors and texture.

The size of the flowers, stem length and color vary depending on the species and cultivar.

Protea in Art

Protea in Art / As a flower farmer, I am always inspired by the perfection found in flowers and thrilled by the way they impact and arouse all of us differently, which for me, is certainly proof of their natural artistic qualities.
