For over 30yrs I have tried numerous times to grow

For over 30yrs I have tried numerous times to grow a Waratah in my garden, they always die 🤷‍♀️
So a few years ago an episode of @gardeningaustralia showed how to plant natives in a metal garbage tin.
With a tube stock of the NSW Waratah - Telopea speciosissima - I filled up a metal garbage bin with native potting mix and waited. After a few false starts with flowers that started then died, this year I have finally managed to not only keep this amazing plant alive but it has two flowers! They are small flowers but I am still beyond thrilled 🤗
One of my favourite Australian wildflowers and inspiration for many of my artworks, I intend to head out to buy another metal garbage bin and plant another tube stock and hopefully it will like it just as much. I have also planted a couple of different species in the garden in raised beds so hoping they may also do well @costasworld

Beach walking yesterday afternoon … couple of nights away while Dad is having some respite in palliative care.
Lovely afternoon walk at North Valla Beach.
But should I mention the oddity of 4WD driving up & back along the beach seemingly for no reason which kind of dampened the beach atmosphere. I don’t get it 🤷‍♀️
Will choose South Valla Beach walking this afternoon

Got as far as Crescent Head last night for a quick stopover on my way home. It has been a long time since I was here.
It was dark when I arrived but lovely to hear the ocean all night. Managed to go for a quick walk before heading off 🌊
