protea


The protea is one of the easiest tree to grow.  The bright red flowers attract birds, especially the wattle birds that enjoy sipping on the sweet nectar.  The tree is almost five years old and is my height.  I shall prune it back when the flowering is finished as I prefer to leave the bush small.


The buds, as seen amongst the foliage will soon open up.
