Protea flowers

Lizel Von Wielligh re-created these Protea flowers that fascinate her by recycled textiles and recycled plastic tubing. The King Protea flower is South Africa’s national flower and can be spotted everywhere. It is also a great symbol of fertility and pride for the locals. There are hundreds of different types, and they are endangered.
