It's structural where most flowers are soft, and it holds a room the way a piece of sculpture does. One stem in a heavy vessel is a complete arrangement. Three is a statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bracts have a papery, almost frosted texture that reads as intentional rather than delicate. Color shifts stem to stem across the pink-to-silver range — no two are matched, which is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCut fresh and shipped with a long runway.

Change the water every two days and strip any leaves below the waterline — protea leaves foul water quickly.

Protea dries itself — leave the stems standing as the water goes down, or pull them out and set them somewhere dry. The bracts stiffen, the color deepens to a warmer rose, and the flower keeps going indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeeks in water.
