You can't beat a plant with a flower that last for months! As to the Grevillea and Leucadendron, I have all those you've listed (although my G. 'Peaches & Cream' has yet to bloom) and continue to invest in more. Sadly, it looks as though L. 'Rising Sun' will be the 1st (and hopefully, only) Leucadendron I'm going to lose - I've been unable to halt its decline.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-72990849481209197032014-09-08T11:21:25.535-07:002014-09-08T11:21:25.535-07:00The Proteaceae family contains so many spectacular...The Proteaceae family contains so many spectacular plants!
