King Protea is a shrub with a flower that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. The large, globe-shaped buds resembled giant artichokes before they open.

The Protea is the national flower of South Africa It is widely distributed in the south-western and southern parts of of the fynbos region of South Africa. It is widely distributed in the south-western and southern parts of the fynbos region of South Africa.
