About Ranch of the Golden Hawk's Protea Flowers
Native primarily to Australia and the mountains of South Africa,
Protea flowers have been an acclaimed tourist attraction and
national symbol in their homelands for more than a century. Golden
Hawk Protea, nestled in a remote scenic valley of the Santa Barbara
coastal mountains, is perfectly situated in climate, topography and
soils to recreate the optimum conditions for producing these
spectacular and highly sought after flowers.
Well into our third decade of cultivating the magnificent and
fascinating Protea, our horticultural practices result in the finest
quality of blooms, stem length, foliage and variety. The attention
we give to each plant produces flowers with full and vibrant color,
long stems and perfect foliage. In achieving this quality we never
use chemicals or practices deemed harmful to the environment.
Our Protea are harvested for each specific order and shipped the
same day. Each Golden Hawk Protea flower arrangement contains an
assortment of select, organically grown Protea flowers and foliage,
artfully arranged and packed with care and pride. Send a Protea
flower arrangement, to arrive within 48 hours of being cut, in a
custom box including flower food, instructions for maintaining
freshness and a personalized greeting card. The flowers are arranged
so that, upon delivery, simply remove the rubber band and place the
flower arrangement in a vase of choice. Vase not included.
The unrivaled variety of Golden Hawk Protea blooms and foliage
guarantees an ever-changing succession of spectacular color, shape
and texture throughout the flower season, from September 1 st
through May 31 st. Golden Hawk Protea flower arrangements are
available in 3 sizes of 6, 8 or 10 Protea blooms, selected from
stunning varieties of Protea, Pincushion, Banksia and the
spectacular Waratah, surrounded with an abundance of Leucadendron,
delicate Serruria, Dryandra, Phylica, Erica and other filler, mass
and foliage.
With their exotic look, stunning color and timeless, long
lasting beauty, Golden Hawk Protea flower arrangements are the
perfect solution for:
- Flower arrangements for decorating your home or office
- Sending flowers for a corporate or holiday gift
- Flowers delivered just to say you care
Care & Handling
Every individual order includes detailed care and handling
information, a 3 week supply of flower food to prolong freshness and
beauty. For the longest vase life we recommend cutting ˝ inch from
each stem just prior to placing the arrangement into a solution of 1
packet of flower food (provided) mixed with fresh water. The fresh
water solution should be refreshed and the flower stems trimmed at 3
to 4 day intervals.
Vase Life
Following the care instructions, these spectacular Protea
arrangements will provide 2 to 3 weeks of fresh and colorful visual
pleasure. This incredible vase life, combined with direct shipment
from Golden Hawk Protea, means a Protea flower arrangement from
Golden Hawk Protea is a tremendous value considering that most other
flower arrangements are several days old when shipped and last just
a few days after arrival. When the flowers finally lose their
freshness, they may be left in the vase without water to dry for an
enduring dried flower arrangement.
How to Dry Protea Flowers
- Store the flowers upright to allow them to open in a dark,
well ventilated location;
- Leave the flowers for 2 to 3 weeks, letting the colors change
hue;
- Rearrange the flowers to create a rewarding display of lasting
beauty.
Some varieties of Protea can last a lifetime. According to
Pacific Horticulture magazine,
“Protea are the world’s finest dried
flowers.”
