Proteas- Best growing conditions
By ACS Distance Education on August 12, 2013 in Horticulture / Gardening | comments
Protea flowers are bisexual. That is, both male and female reproductive parts are found in the same flower. The flowers are irregular, with many arranged in heads which are usually sessile. Heads are solitary, and flowers are enclosed in involucres of variously coloured, imbricate bracts. The fruit is a densely bearded nut. It is the colourful bracts that are very showy – the flowers themselves are generally insignificant.

This is an extract from our ebook "Proteas and their Relatives" .
