Grevillea 'Panrock Princess' is now quite a big bush in my side garden and usually has a few of the dark pink flowers on show. Pruning has seemed to increase the number of flowers. They last well in a vase if cut fresh.

I went for a walk around the block on Saturday after the rain had eased. A very pretty picture with all the drains flowing. This Banksia integrifolia prostrate form is growing along a walkway and starting to flower.

This week our Darwinias are coming into flower. We are not sure of the species of this small shrub in the front garden. Any ideas?

Diplolaena grandiflora was shown by Philip Vaugn in Gardening Australia and he described it as a hardy reliable shrub which flowers most of the year. This appears to be true as this one in my garden grows in poor alkaline soil near greedy trees and has flowered most of the time for the past 10 years rarely being watered. The main problem would be in finding one to buy. And yes, you can see lovely rain.

An old favourite, Hakea lissocarpha is flowering prolifically - strongly perfumed - not always pleasantly - and with sharp, pointed foliage that keeps rabbits and kangaroos at bay.
Growing in heavy loam above Port Elliot.

Dampiera diversifolia is a very suitable plant for a pot as it trails over the edges blending with the Ruby Saltbush, Enchylaena tomentosa, which is trying to take over the garden.

This Grevillea ‘Red Sunset’ grew much bigger than expected and significantly reduced the view of the sea from the house. When parts of it died in the drought, we pruned it back to 2 straggly balls which have since flourished, with flowers on the outside of the dark foliage encouraging parrots.
Growing in heavy loam over clay above Port Elliot.
