Found in various parts of the world, including Cape Town's Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in South Africa and even as far as Maui, Hawaii, this flower never fails to leave onlookers in awe. With its large flower head and green leaves, the king protea stands tall like a regal monarch among other floral species. Its vibrant pink petals attract not only human admirers but also the Malachite sunbird - a male nectaring on its sweet nectar. The sight of this tiny bird perching delicately on the king protea is truly enchanting. A close-up view reveals intricate details of the bud before it blossoms into full magnificence.

Even centuries ago, this captivating flower was celebrated for its splendor, as seen from an 18th-century illustration. In California's Ojal Taft Ranch ICEC during February PR71 season blooms another breathtaking king protea specimen. Its presence adds a touch of elegance to United States' landscapes.
