What’s in a name?
Among the oldest families of flowers on earth, dating back 300 million years, Greek legend tells us that Protea were named after Proteus, the son of Poseidon. A sea god, who had the power to know all things past, present and future, Proteus was defiant and preferred to nap on the island of Pharos. To deter those seeking his insights, he would change shape at will. It is said that the protea flower was named after him because it too presents itself in an astounding variety of shapes, sizes, hues and textures to make up more than 1400 varieties.
With its mythological association to change and transformation, it’s not surprising that, in the language of flowers, protea symbolises diversity. In the same way, at Protea, we offer a variety of services to best fit your requirements and needs.
