Christoff van Wyk from Cape Town has brought a proudly South African Fynbos flower prototype to life.
He was first inspired to build the national flower, the Protea, with Lego pieces, and his design grew from there.
Now it includes the Bot River Protea, the Splendid Pagoda, the Green Tree Pincushion, the Button Bush, Chincherinchee, West Coast wildflowers (Gousblomme), and Erica Blenna.

Talking about his unique floral design with Good Things Guy, van Wyk explains:
Erica Blenna is a distinctive flower from my hometown; I often see Green Tree Pincushions on hikes on Table Mountain; and every spring the West Coast turns into a lush bed of wild flowers. Fynbos (fine bush) is a type of shrubland vegetation found in the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa, where I live. There are over 9000 Fynbos species, which deliver some of the most striking flowers in the world.- Christoff van Wyk
