As to Protea 'Pink Ice', I came home and gave my own plant a talking to. I had it in a large pot for 2 years (my bad) but I planted it out in December 2018 and, while it's obviously doing better now that it's in the ground, I think it's time for it to produce a bloom.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-61730333185135819792022-11-14T13:55:41.746-08:002022-11-14T13:55:41.746-08:00So nice to see these beautiful gardens, Kris.
