The classic Leucospermum Cordifolium aka the Pincushion Protea which is one of the many Fynbos plants growing here in the western cape 💛
The name ‘Fynbos’ originates from an Old Dutch word: ‘fine bush’. It refers not to one but to all the plants associated with the mountains of South Africa’s Cape region. It’s like saying ‘tropical forest’ or ‘savannah’ – a vegetation type in other words.
