i think that proteas require speciific growing conditions in order to bloom.
in Hawaii they are grown at higher elevationd o
the slopes of the volcanos.

I did find 1 person selling small live plants. But from what I can dig up they are hard to keep alive outside of Hawaii and Africa. I would like to have one, but I just don't think my skill level is high enough to keep one alive.
