PROTEACEAE
Protea cynaroides, the king protea, is a flowering plant.
It is a distinctive member of Protea, having the largest
flower head in the genus. The species is also known as
giant protea, honeypot or king sugar bush. It is
widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts
of South Africa in the fynbos region.
The king protea is the national flower of South Africa. It also is
the flagship of the The Protea Atlas Project, run by the
South African National Botanical Institute

LEUCADENDRONS
Leucadendrons, also known as fillers or fynbos,are
equally beautiful, and their foliage remains attractive
throughout the year. Again, there are a large number
of varieties that compliment any protea in a stunning
bouquet, adding delicate color and texture to the
strong appearance of the protea flower head.
They are a gift from God for us to enjoy and
utilize, and bring much pleasure and peace
to soothe our rushed lifestyles..

Established in 2007
Robiq Proteas started with a few species of Proteaceae which were already well adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing in the area.
Given that the wild P. caffra grows naturally in the area, it was expected that commercially grown Proteas too would do well in the slightly acidic soil that is found in the area.
