As one season slowly slips into the next… nature paints the transition with a shift in colors. While many plants retreat into dormancy through winter and early spring, Leucospermum… affectionately known as "pincushions", burst forth in a blaze of color, lighting up the fields with their unmistakable vibrance. Their fiery reds, bold oranges, and glowing yellows cut through the cool season gloom like living embers, offering a show that’s both dramatic and uplifting. Each flower head, with its unique pin-like projections, resembles a brilliant sunburst… a perfect fusion of geometry and wild beauty.
Now, as summer and fall approach, a new palette begins to emerge. The Protea bloom in soft pinks, creamy whites, and deep burgundies, each wrapped in velvety bracts that feel as luxurious as they look. Their blooms feel richer, echoing the slower rhythm of the warmer months and the shifting tones of the fields. These flowers don’t shout; they resonate… rich, textural, and timeless. Where pincushions danced with spring’s energy, protea settle into the season’s grounded warmth, echoing the golden light of late afternoon.
A beautiful reminder: our harvest is always moving, always changing. And with each bloom, the colors we gather tell the story of where we are in the year. 🍃💥🌷🍂
