Hawaii, they are native to the South Africa and Australia. Information about
Protea can be found at California Protea
Association. In Maui, proteas are grown commercially in Kula, on the
volcanic slopes of Haleakala, a cool climate area of Maui.
Pictures of most of protea flowers in this page were taken at
the Kula Botanical Gardens in Kula, Maui. Kula Botanical Garden has a large collection of proteas, it is worthwhile to
visit if you go to Maui.
