Rare and Unique Flower ♡ Do You Know About "Protea"?
Have you heard of this uniquely shaped flower with slender, pointed triangular petals?
Recently, brides who are having stylish, overseas-inspired weddings have been using a flower called "Protea" in their bouquets ♩
The center bud has a faint lavender hue, and the flower petals are characterized by their pink-tipped ends.*
This flower is so rare that you might say, "I've never seen this before!" when you come across it at a flower shop ♡
The name Protea is derived from Proteus, a god from Greek mythology who could change his form at will. It is said to be because the flower is “so magnificent and majestic.”
The size of the flowers ranges from 10 to 20 centimeters, and the largest variety, the "King Protea," can reach an impressive 30 centimeters.
Using a flower the size of a bride's face in a bouquet makes a striking impact ♡
Although it has a bold appearance, the flower’s meanings are endearing: “sweet love” and “rich heart,” which adds to its charm ♩
Mixing a large Protea into your bouquet will instantly give it a chic, overseas vibe.*
Here are some popular designs for wedding bouquets featuring bundled Proteas among brides! ♡
