Produktbeschreibung
A taciturn botanist, Elias van der Merwe, guards his inherited, secret collection of indigenous proteas on his remote Karoo farm, focusing obsessively on the near-mythical "Ghost Protea" (P. karooensis). His isolated world is shattered by the arrival of Lindi Malan, a vibrant environmental journalist determined to expose the ethical flaws of private collectors hoarding South African heritage. Their immediate hostility shifts to a desperate alliance when corporate titan Gerhard Richter moves to seize the land and patent the endangered species. As they race to find the Ghost's wild colony, they uncover Elias's father's lie of omission-the decades-old theft of conservation knowledge from the local guide. To save the land, Elias makes a profound sacrifice, choosing redemption over family reputation by championing justice. He establishes a Co-Stewardship Conservancy with the Schoemanshoek community, turning the collector's private fortress into a national heritage asset. Through shared risk and ethical repair, Lindi and Elias save the flower, heal a generational wound, and find enduring love rooted in the revived Karoo landscape.
