It was one of the first plants we put into our indigenous garden and besides pleasing me it pleases the birds too. Copyright Vicki Thomas 2016]]> MEDIA: Print

It is almost sculptural. Copyright Vicki Thomas 2016]]> MEDIA: Print

The contrast between the delicate shell-like pink and the black hairs is hugely appealing. Copyright Vicki Thomas 2016]]> MEDIA: Print
