Queen proteus metamorphosis: visiting card
The flower in question in this article is one of the most unusual and mysterious. Its name was recorded by the well-known scientist Karl Linnaeus. The flower was named after the ancient Greek god Proteus, capable of metamorphosis - according to legend, he could take any form. This name is not accidental - to date, only more than 100 subspecies of Protea have been officially registered, and they all differ significantly from each other.
Common features for all of these species are the original flower shape, reminiscent of the scaly dragon egg from the familiar to all the series, and a powerful woody stem, reaching a meter in height. In addition, the peculiarity of the protea is the presence of only one flower on the stem. A characteristic feature of all species is also a pleasant aroma that attracts honey plants.
Protea's natural habitat is South Africa. It is in this country that the largest number of species grows. At the same time, the flower of the giant artichoke protea (P. cynaroides) is a symbol of South Africa and adorns the national emblem of this country. For Ukraine in general and the Dnepropetrovsk region in particular, Proteus is a rarity. Its cultivation here is possible only in greenhouse conditions, since low temperatures are not acceptable for a tropical plant. However, by contacting Royal Flowers, you can receive this African miracle and enjoy its beauty in original compositions and bouquets.
