love these proteas

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

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

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!

Thank you

Stamvrug is yummy!
