Description

It wouldn’t be Christmas where I live without a few of these native flowers blooming in the bush.
These perennials usually flower between November to February, and put on a spectacular display.
I would like to wish the staff and all my friends on BP a very Happy Christmas, and I hope Santa is kind to you!
