Doesn't look like a protea to me. I had some self seeded sunflowers that have just flowered and alot smaller than last summer. The centre looks sunflowers 🌻 to me.. love the colours.
@julzmaioro definitely not sunflower, it’s a huge shrub. The flowers are really well attached to branches rather than stalks, I couldn’t break it off. It’s growing in the South African part of the Global garden
