Folks, live in the Adelaide hills with a nice garden that includes one 1.5
metre protea (silver ice, I think) that is flowering very well on every
stem. The bush is almost too big for the roots and stem. Although staked
up I think I need to prune after the flowers loose there colour. However,
the flowers are at the junction of 5 or 6 other stems that also have flowers
or flower like things starting. There doesn't seem to be any stem at the
junction to cut the flower off from. Most articles I have seem talk about
leaving 10 to 15cm of stem. I also have one or two flowers that have opened
up all the way and are starting to look like they are dying so wish to prune
them out. Help ( no skills what soever as a gardener except that everything
I plant seems to go berserk and grow!! go figure)

regards, in anticipation
