The genus Protea was named after the Greek God Proteus who could assume many shapes because like him, Proteas come in so many different forms.
These here are Leucospermum (Pincushion, Pincushion Protea) is a genus of about 50 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, native to Zimbabwe and South Africa, where they occupy a variety of habitats, including scrub, forest, and mountain slopes.

Proteas will attract bees and birds to a garden. They are full of nectar and often are called sugarbushes. Some are so sticky from nectar, insects actually get trapped in them.
