Proteas primarily come from South Africa but there are some that have been hybridized in Australia.

Protea neriifolia 'Pink Ice' is also referred to as the Narrow-Leaf Sugarbush.
It has punchy pink new growth stems and produces fist-sized composite flowers with feathery rosy silver bracts surrounding a bundle of fuzzy quill-like flowers. Believe it or not, each one of those 'quills' is an individual flower. At the base of each individual flower is a structure that produces nectar called a nectary. That's why this plant is commonly referred to as a Sugarbush.

Protea neriifolia 'Pink Ice' grows to about 6 feet tall as well as wide and is one of the hardiest proteas around. It loves full sun, well-draining, nutrient lean soils, nothing too rich, low water, and is hardy to around 25 degrees fahrenheit/-3 celsius. One big note is that if you grow proteas, it is my experience to keep fertilizer containing phosphorous away from them. Phosphorous overloads these plants and can kill them. Feed them something with little or no phosphorous.

Protea neriifolia 'Pink Ice' blooms primarily from Autumn through Spring and intermittently the rest of the year. They make amazing cut and dried flowers.

The genus Protea was named after the Greek god Proteus. Proteus had the ability to change his form. Proteas come in a variety of forms. Some are small, some are medium in size, while others are large, bushy, and produce big ol' chunky flowers. By Kaye Menner Photography.

Intriguing final day of the SAvPAK test match. Feels like if these two can get through the first half hour that'll be a big part of it! #Proteas #Cricket

I visited the #Kula #BotanicalGarden on #Maui and saw a lot of cool #flowers. Here are a few. My favorites are the #proteas which look like they were brought by #aliens.

Nothing like sitting next to the #Proteas door as the Aussie bowlers see them off on a perfect summer #test #cricket day in Sydney (at last). Relaxing into a long beautiful day of play! #ausvsa #australiacricketteam #auspol

This absolutely dismal performance from the proteas is not the way I wanted to spend Boxing Day #BoxingDayTest #Proteas

Sports and emotion go together. Sports make us feel joy, sadness, happiness, despair, hope, anger...

That is what sport is meant to do. Sometimes after matches, we just feel things, we feel a certain way, and it's okay. After the #Proteas' T20 World Cup, I felt a certain way.
