PROTEA IN FLOWER AT LAST


I've been waiting for months to see if my Protea would flower and today the first one has started to open and I think it's beautiful. There are about 6 on the bush all in different stages of opening.

We treated ourselves this time around with a hired car service to Station Pier in Port Melbourne so our holiday started the second we locked the front door.  The car was immaculate and being able to sit back and relax was a great start to our holiday. GENESIS Arriving at the pier, our luggage was soon on board and so were we, ready to enjoy whatever was to come our way.
