Hello littlebabybird,  I thought at first you could try Chiltern Seeds but they don't list the cordifolium, only the Proteaceae.  So I googled it and up came dozens of images and suppliers.  Very definitely from the Protea family.  Hope you are successful, I brought back some protea seeds from South Africa  about 10 years ago and they still havn't come up. Have given up.
