I have been trying to grow a protea but it keeps dying on me. :-( :-( :-(
Hi stf 0/*

We planted six species of proteas and four ericas in the garden but two proteas died and the four are growing very well. I am exceptionally happy about the king protea flowering earlier this year O/\

Plants

Three of the ericas died but the one seems very happy in his spot.

Hey Sharifa, stunning photos expecially the battling bishops.

You are very lucky to see them in your garden.

Like your fancy bird feeder, can we see a full picture of it please?
