Bush broke in winds yesterday. But in this advanced age of prothesis injuries which would surely spell certain death can be overcome.

Foreman came to check on me.

With luck, many more winters of these sprays

      Some grevillea. Unknown cultivar. I got it at the native nursery I was volunteering at.

      It grew explosively when planted, never developing the strength it needed :( but I hope it recovers because through all of winter it gets absolutely covered in those flowers.

        Well it’s beautiful and amazing, thank you for the pictures. I’ll have to look up more about them. Do they mostly look pretty or do they fruit or anything?

          They have interesting foliage and flower for long periods in winter.

          The spikey variants are good shelter for small insects, and all varietes are prolific producers of nectar that draw insects and birds. Mostly they’re a popular plant for their flowers, bird attracting nature, and drought resilience.

          They come in a massive variety of forms, from prostrate ground covers to small trees.
