Anyone out there in Europlantland tried growing Proteas.
I've tried Leucadendrons with varying degrees of success, and, also the King Protea, which stubbornly refused to flower. Banksias, too, seem a little tricky, however, I did get a specimen of Telopea to flower, and, it was like a giant red and white chrysanthemum, pretty awesome.
