Growing proteas

Anyone with any experience growing proteas?  I live in coastal So
California and want to grow proteas beneath a very large black acacia tree.
It's western facing so gets full sun most of the day (the tree foliage
starts at least 20 feet up, little water, sand-based soil (unfortunately
alkaline), and dry summer/rainy winter.

Which proteas would you recommend here?

Thanks!

Nan

So goes an old chinese proverb:

         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
