Photo of Protea cynaroides (King protea)
Protea cynaroides - a broadleaf evergreen shrub that is native to South Africa. It typically matures to 3-4' (less frequently to 6') tall. It is best known for its huge goblet or bowl-shaped flower heads from 5" to 12" in diameter. Each flower head consists of a large, domed, central mass of tepaled inner flowers subtended and surrounded by stiff, pointed, showy bracts ranging in color from red, to pink to creamy white. In its native habitat, flower heads will bloom sporadically throughout the year, but primarily in the warmer months. Somewhat leathery, rounded to elliptic, glossy, dark green leaves grow to 5 1/2" long. Family : Proteaceae
