Last weekend we did a bit of retail therapy!
Most were from Goldfields Revegetation Nursery which specialises in Australian Native Plants especially locally sourced ones.
These were all potted up into a large pot. The central plant is Conostylis setigera from Western Australia.

Hi Jeff,
our climate is theoretically "Mediterranean" with most of our rain falling in autumn and winter and the start of spring. However, as the weather can be crazy I try to get all the spring bulbs under cover during the summer in case of rainstorms.
