This Protea stem, measuring approximately 20.5 inches in height, is a bold and beautifully realistic botanical piece that captures the exotic allure of the iconic South African flower. The sturdy, slightly textured stem is wrapped in a natural green-brown finish, designed to mimic the fibrous structure of a real protea stalk while offering flexibility for arranging. At its crown, the large bloom features layers of pointed bracts in soft blush-pink tones, with subtle gradient shading that gives the impression of freshly unfurling petals. The central cone is intricately detailed with fine, hair-like filaments, creating a lifelike depth and tactile richness. Surrounding the bloom are several broad, elliptical leaves in deep sage green, each with gentle veining and a soft matte surface that enhances the flower’s authentic appearance. Standing tall and vibrant, this 20.5" faux this Protea stem adds a sculptural, tropical elegance to arrangements, bringing texture, color, and sophistication to both contemporary and natural-inspired décor.
