Ive just had a couple of days with my dear friend at her newly completed shack(on a small island not far from Cygnet) .Perfect cold ,still and sunny winters days for long walks on the beach.Lots of magnificent food and lots of garden planning.Ive been trying to talk her into planting 3 different varieties of this Hakea , luckily one was flowering magnificently next door, proof that they do really well there and convincing Annie that 3 may not be enough.
