It's still small but it has put on a lot of growth and it's working on its first flower. Plus, I just planted a Grevillea 'Fanfare', a Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset' and Protea susannae in the front yard. And I still have a Leucadendron lauroleaum 'Yellow Tulip' to plant. So it's not like I don't have any protaceae :-).Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-8383269127577190262012-11-05T21:25:46.637-08:002012-11-05T21:25:46.637-08:00Yes I'm kind with Alan on this one.

As for more room, why not plant one of these beauties, enjoy it for 4 or 5 years, then rip it out if you can't keep it behaving by pruning?Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-25460099545318065822012-11-05T12:09:09.954-08:002012-11-05T12:09:09.954-08:00This fall has been warmer than usual, maybe that&#...This fall has been warmer than usual, maybe that's the reason some winter bloomers are slower to get going?<br /><br />I didn't buy more plants at Norrie's because I still have a protea, grevillea and leucadendron left to plant. Once I've found spots for those, I'll be able to reassess. Plus, we're already planning another trip to Santa Cruz in late winter...Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-10616952512628213732012-11-05T12:02:58.468-08:002012-11-05T12:02:58.468-08:00So many goodies in the plant sales area!

Despite both Oz and SA being in the southern hemisphere, notable difference in the amount of plants in bloom.
