Did you know South Africa is home to one of the world’s greatest concentrations of proteas?
The spectacular Protea family forms part of the incredible biodiversity of the Cape Floristic Region — a global biodiversity hotspot found nowhere else on Earth.
From the iconic King Protea, South Africa’s national flower, to vibrant pincushions and cone bushes, these plants are specially adapted to survive harsh conditions, poor soils and even wildfires.
A few fascinating facts:
💮 Many protea species are found nowhere else in the world
💮 Some proteas rely on fire to regenerate and release seeds
💮 Their shapes and colours attract birds, insects and pollinators
