America's Heartland
San Diego Flower Farm
Journey up steep terrain in San Diego County to see how farmers grow protea flowers for bouquets. Protea flowers grow as weeds in their native Africa, but here in Southern California, more than 250 varieties of Proteas can be found. And they're as varied as the Greek God they're named after.
