This reminds me of Protea. I wonder what this is.

This is Oreocallis grandiflora.  It is in Proteaceae so no wonder it had reminded me of Protea.  This genus with 1 species in South America (Ecuador and Peru).  Ruiz and Pavón called this “Embothrium emarginatum” and it is in the first volume of “Flora Peruviana et Chilensis”, 1798.
