Protea are amongst the world's most unusual flowers. They are native to South Africa and Australia but have been found to grow especially
well in the Kula area of Upcountry Maui. The Protea family of flowers is named for the Greek God Proteus, who could change his appearance at will.
There are over 1400 different varieties, with strong names like King, Queen or Duchess. All Proteas share one thing in common. They are very long
lasting. One special quality of Proteas is that they dry beautifully making them an everlasting gift.
They dry beautifully by hanging them upside down individually or letting them dry naturally in an arrangement. We present our proteas in several different
ways. Some arrive arranged in baskets and wreaths, making easy gifts and others arrive as loose cut flowers making the arrangement of them a fun project
for the recipient.
