Proteas are a family of shrubs with unusual and beautiful flowers. Proteas grow in variable soils that are generally poor with a predominance of Table Mountain sandstone, particularly in the mountainous regions. Proteas also grow in Bokkeveld shale which has a high content of clay. Some even grow in the other extreme of virtually pure sand, particularly along our coastal regions. The pH of the soils is on the acid side although there are some areas with alkaline soils with pH as high as 8,0. The mountain ranges are cooler, experiencing the effects of prevailing winds, mists and cloud. Snow falls regularly in the Cape mountains each winter. A very important factor in the ecology of Proteaceae is a well-drained soil and efficient drainage system. This provides not only a well-aerated soil, but also a cool root system which is important. The Proteaceae are essentially social plants, although there are a number of exceptions. Many of the species growing in their natural habitat occur in close proximity to one another, forming close-knit communities. The individual plants protect one another from prevailing winds. They create a dense cover which prevents compaction, keeps the soil cool and reduces the rate of evaporation. There are unspoiled Bushman paintings nearby and for most of the year mountain streams and pools. There is a hiking trail and walks and a bush pool fed by a mountain stream. There are several pairs of Black Eagles nesting in the area and there are many other species of raptor and other birds including the rare Cape Eagle Owl. On a warm summer evening one can hear these owls and also the Freckled Nightjars calling in the hills.
