Pink Protea flower in bloom.

$Protea cynaroides, also called the king protea, giant protea, honeypot or king sugar bush is a distinctive member of Protea, having the largest flower head in the genus. It is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa in the fynbos region.\nThis unusual flower has a long vase life in flower arrangements, and makes for an excellent dried flower.\nProtea cynaroides is adapted to survive wildfires by its thick underground stem, which contains many dormant buds; these will produce the new growth after the fire.$

Portrait of the iconic king-protea bloom. Proteaceae family: Protea cynaroides 'Pink King'. Used widely as a cut flower, recently popular even in wedding bouquets. It is a long-lasting, structurally magnificent bloom, also used in dried flower arrangements. The national flower of South Africa.

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.

My original horizontal closeup photo of a large open Protea flower, in a bunch of flowers and leaf sprigs in a Florist shop display, has been transformed using the Mextures app to bring an old fashioned vintage feel to the image.
