Look at this stunning Hakea bloom that came from my friend Leonie's garden.
It looks prickly but it's actuallt quite soft. I believe it's a West Australian native. SO pretty!
Not much happening in my garden at the moment - lots of preparation for spring still going on. Can you believe I still have bulbs to go in? Hopefully that job will be finished this weekend. I've just planted a beautiful David Austin rose, The Dark Lady and luckily I have space for about six more roses.
Have a lovely, relaxing weekend everyone!

Thats such a pretty pink flower Sarah, exactly what's needed with this dull grey weather we are having! Thanks for the heads up with the barnyard market, I haven't been to that one yet. Might have to wait for the next one sadly, having a cooking/photography day with friends tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend and get your bulbs in : )
ReplyDeleteOk just realised you wrote 5th June not tomorrow for the market! Clearly not functioning today : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! I have never seen anything like that. It does look prickly :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! I'm going to go and buy some flowers tomorrow, you've inspired me :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
That flower is stunning!! Love it! I was only thinking of you and your bulbs the other day when I saw a segment on TV about how it's time to plant them all now. I can't wait to see your lovely display. Enjoy your weekend x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! I have never seen one of those before! Hope you have a lovely weekend Sarah ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of something from under the sea...very beautiful!
ReplyDeletethe pincushion hakea - yes they are beautiful and i'd love to grow one but they are frost sensitive so i can't. thanks for displaying it...k.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and have to tell you that I love your Friday Flowers. I'm from the western USA and my flowers really aren't doing much yet and even when they do I won't have anything like you are spotlighting. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I'm very jealous of your wall of cubicles.
ReplyDeleteLove this! It is so different!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love it!
ReplyDeleteCute little ball there. It sure does look a bit prickly, and very exotic. T me at least. Nice neighbor you have who shares. I was actually in my neighbors garden last night and she cut of a piece too from a tree for me.
I can believe you still have bulbs to go in. You read my post. I had so many garden plans for this weekend, now my husband just invited the whole fat family for a Memorial Day party on Sunday, so, plans changed.
Dave Austin, huh? Sounds like a great plan. Maybe I'll see them in the fall on your blog. Can't wait.
