Oh, Good. You all know I love to look and talk. I love keeping company
with folks.. It is a beautiful bloom, isn't it. Has a bloom similiar to
those Sundews with the sticky things. Love the delicate color. Thanks

HI ALL Have had a bad time since the flood [FEB] have had no time to look in this site have had many plants with too wet feet,a bad thing for PROTEAS. After the flood had cyclonic winds ripped through and with the plants in soft soil and most over a metre high you can imagine how many blew over when winds reached over 60k.Thats farming they tell me come on spring i say attached image of new replacement varieties POSSUM MAGIC planting next month CHEERS TO ALL TERRY

Hi Terry, we have missed your pics.....Sorry that you have had such a lousy time...... as you say...Come on Spring.
I have Possum Magic....It and Little Prince are beauties...I have Cream Mink too, but find that a bit slow..
The Protea farm near where I live has sold up.....the land is worth too much.....but there is still another not too far away.
Good luck with your replanting.
Dianne.
