Protea coming along..

It sure is a beautiful flower, Stan. You have some wonderful, colourful plants in you garden. I enjoy seeing them.

Stunning thats a wopper I love it.

Thank you. Its a plant that's not even tropical. Some people say its taken Z8 winters. I don't know about that.
Even the leaves look unreal. Green spoons!

Yet it looks tropical I like the leaves too
Good to know it can survive colder climates thanks Stan for that.

I've been told that there is a cultivar of this plant that will and does flower well in the UK. Mini..something. In pots it flowers also.
I have the old fashioned species kind that tries men's patience. Of course once planted,no choice!

Lol Stan I always thought it was us woman who tried mens patients hehe .
I shall have to look out for that Mini one then thank you fir that. Yes once its in you just have to wait and have patients.
