16 Most Exotic Flowers Around the World
8. Protea
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to South Africa’s national flower, the beautifully talented, and multi-purposeful protea! (We know you’ve probably seen these beauties, just let us have this one).
This tropical wonder has a history dating back 300 million years and is actually considered one of the oldest families of blossoms one can find on Earth today.
Studies show that protea is a genus originating from the continent of Gondwana. Scientists have theorized that the reason this genus has spread to all different sides of the planet is because of the splitting of the continent.
And of course, we’ve got more Greek mythology for you. Who would have guessed?
The name protea is taken from Proteus, son of Poseidon, who is believed to have been a shape-shifter. This makes sense, as with 1,500 species, proteas clearly come in many different shapes and sizes!
These divergent tropicals symbolize diversity, courage, and transformation, meaning they are the perfect quirky, unique gift to send!
