The shuttlecock Protea or Protea Aurea is a striking and unusual Protea that has spiny open flowers unlike the traditional cup shaped flowers of most other Protea’s. #protea #fynbos #flowersofinstagram #flowers #plantsofinstagram #plants #rareplant #southafrica #capetown @greytontourism #leonkluge | Leon Kluge

Obsessed with how this bouquet turned out! That gorgeous Pink Ice Protea steals the show, surrounded by deep plum astrantia, lilac roses, waxflower, and eryngium, all wrapped up with eucalyptus for that perfect finishing touch. This one’s a stunner! The buttonholes of eryngium, deep pink lisianthus and eucalyptus round out this gorgeous wedding. Big shout out to Simon from @vianenflowers for sourcing the perfect Proteas. #ProteaLove #BouquetGoals | Simply Flowers
