Not all pollinators have wings.
While many people think of birds or insects when they hear the word pollination, some protea species rely on something far more unexpected, like a little mouse.
Certain low-growing proteas produce nectar in their flowers , making them attractive to small mammals. As mice feed, pollen sticks to their noses and fur, and is then transferred to the next flower they visit.
It’s a reminder that the fynbos ecosystem is full of fascinating relationships and that even the tiniest creatures can play an important role in helping our flora thrive.

Three proteas, three distinct personalities.
From the soft pink tones of Pink Ice, to the fresh green hues of Limelight, and the refined elegance of Ayoba White Night, each variety brings its own colour, texture and character to the world of fynbos.
Which one would you choose?

Beautiful things take time and the Protea is no exception.
After the rooted cutting is planted, it can take approximately two to three years before the first commercially suitable stems are ready to be picked.
During its first year, the plant focuses on establishing a strong root system and producing strong shoots. As the plant develops, careful pruning helps create the strong framework and long, straight stems needed for cut-flower production.
By years two to three, growers may begin harvesting the first flowers, depending on the variety, climate, and overall growing conditions. Only by year 5-7 does the plant come into full production.
So, by the time a stem reaches your vase, years of growth, care and patience have already gone into it.

Trim the stems at an angle to help them absorb water.
Remove any leaves below the waterline to prevent rot.
Refresh the water every 2-3 days.
Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight.
With a little care, you can enjoy the beauty of your bouquet for even longer.
