Description
Protea was named after the Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will, because proteas have such different forms. This one is a King Protea and it has a very large flower head.
The King Protea is the national flower of South Africa.
Yes, that's where I've seen this beautiful flower for the first time but seems like they grow it in Australia too.

That's such a fascinating, unique-looking flower - I can see why the S. Africans made it one of their symbols. Are those dark-tipped things spines or are they stamens?
