love these proteas :-0

Are the first 3 the same bush?

Do you have more photos of the white one? Is it a small bush, height? In the valley of the Lenong drive or high up?

You have identified the last one yourself ^Q^

Yes the first 3 are the same bush, the white one is smaller than the others about 1m high, it's on Lenong drive just before you start climbing that scary mountain road :shock: O-/

:ty: Harry

The white one is a Dwarf Savanna Sugarbush Protea welwitschii


The other one is the Common Sugarbush Protea caffra caffra

And the edible one comes under several names: Transvaal Milkplum, Stamvrug Englerophytum magalismontanum
AKA umNumbela (Zulu), Munombelo (Venda), moTlhakwa (Setswana), Nombela (Tsonga), umNumbela (Swati)


The dawf white protea is beautiful!
