🌸 Discover the Majesty of the Protea! 🌸

Named after the Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will, the protea flower symbolizes diversity and transformation. With over 1,400 species, each protea is a testament to nature’s endless creativity and resilience.

Native to South Africa, this extraordinary bloom thrives in the most challenging conditions, making it a perfect symbol of strength and adaptability. Its unique, architectural petals and vibrant colors have inspired artists and designers for centuries, and today, it continues to influence our prints.

Embrace the beauty and spirit of the protea in your life. Let its story inspire you to bloom wherever you are planted. 🌱✨
