protea along a neat edge

The grass is short and the edges neatly trimmed.  Michael is very good with keeping the edges neat.  He did the lawn this morning not three weeks after cutting the grass while I was away.  The rain and warmth are sending the grass into frenzied growth.  It is a pleasure to look at the lawn after the mowing.
The protea bush was planted over three years ago and I have been waiting for the flowers to appear.  They have appeared this season, at least four buds and one in full bloom.

I expect to see the honey eaters sucking the nectar out of this protea soon.
