The Protea flower is not a flower, but a flower head or inflorescence, made up of many individual flowers grouped together on a rounded base or receptacle. What looks like the 'petals' of the protea 'flower' are modified leaves known as floral or involucral bracts.

Protea cynaroides, also called King Protea, is a sparsely branched evergreen shrub, prized for its huge bowl-shaped flower heads. Each spectacular flower head features a central bouquet of inner flowers surrounded by stiff, pointed, colorful bracts. Their color ranges from greenish white through silky silvery pink to red. In its native habitat, King Protea blooms primarily in warmer months, but sporadically throughout the year.
