First of all the biggest goal is this flower do not need watering. Decoration like this will stay bright and colourful even if you travel a lot. And because many people have allergies, this is the right floral present for them.
More information
Protea is both the botanical and the English common name of a South African flowering plant. People call Protea also “sugarbushes” (Afrikaans: suikerbos). In local tradition, the Protea represents change and hope.
In 1735 by Carl Linnaeus name the Protea after the Greek god Proteus – early sea-god or god of rivers and oceanic bodies of water. He is who could change his form at will. (And as you realise the Proteas have such a wide variety of forms.) From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective “protean”, with the general meaning of “versatile”, “mutable”, “capable of assuming many forms”. “Protean” has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.
