New portals in Pikmin Bloom?

Guys there is a new portal/pokestop in Ingress/Pogo but I can't see any giant flower/mushroom in Pikmin Bloom where the new portal is. However today I was surprised when my pikmins brought this (the new portal's pic). Still though there's nothing in Pikmin Bloom map. Any idea what's going on?

I routinely get things from wayspots that aren't in Pikmin Bloom.
not sure if you're the person who asked in Reddit earlier but I'll give the same answer. Bloom has an even more selective algorithm for Blooms than Pokemon go has for pokestops so you'll only have one per level 16 grid cell or about 1/4 the total number. is there any existing bloom close by?
As tehstone says, you get less POI in Pikmin Bloom, but it pulls postcards from any POI, even if they don’t appear on the map.
On a separate note, I did have a POI get removed from all the games that was a Flower in Bloom, yet nothing has replaced it within that same cell sadly. (There are plenty of POI there on the Intel Map)
No blooms nearby. Nothing at all.
Thanks for answering my question guys.
I confirm new portals do not create new flowers or mushrooms in Pikmin Bloom. I live in Benin and since I arrived there, I created about 30 new Ingress portals and none of these have appeared in Pikmin Bloom (apart from the postcards). It is quite annoying because in African countries, the numbers of players and therefore POI are very low o it would be helpful to have these POIs in Pikmin Bloom.
Niantic did provide a response on this.
Q. A new Wayspot has been approved in Niantic Wayfarer. When will it appear in Pikmin Bloom?
Currently, we are adding new Wayspots to Pikmin Bloom on an irregular basis. We are unable to give you a timeline for when this work will be performed.
Also, considering the gaming experience, not all Wayspots will necessarily be reflected in the app. Thank you for your understanding.
After a few threads about it on their forum.
