proteas - front garden

Geoff has been tending these gorgeous 'Braidwood Brilliant' proteas in the front garden. They are so spectacular! Our first go at planting proteas last year wasn't so successful with the intense heat over a long summer. We hope that these proteas are well established enough to survive this coming summer. Climate change makes gardening so much more challenging!
Geoff really enjoys growing flowers to cut - there have been lovely daffodils in the house over the last few weeks. Always a promise of spring to come.
