It is not likely that too many members - at least in Europe - will be growing Proteas but of course others have more amenable climates for such plants. Robbie Blackhall-Miles FLS is working in Wales on the study of such plants and hopes to discover in time that more are able to be grown in the UK than was previously imagined.
Robbie was in receipt of an SRGC Exploration Grant to help with an expedition to South Africa - you can read his article in the International Rock Gardener (IRG) #80 of August 2016 - HERE - also contains much more, of course !
