Not1CentMore 10 Posted October 31, 2013 Yeppers, looks like Fall has fell. Love the colors, but not the cooler temps. Tree line starts about 15-feet from the back door and nothing but 'critters' for miles. Gotta love the 'boonies'!

Cold Sea 9 Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Madiba King Protea This king protea, named Madiba, is also in my backyard. It is about four years old and flowered for the first time this year. Thought I would share this very pretty flower. Derick Edited November 3, 2013 by Cold Sea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought I would share this very pretty flower. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4876[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4877[/ATTACH] Derick Wow - these are really well-coloured for King Proteas! They are stunning. By the way, do you know that if you want cut Proteas to last and not to shed their "feathers", just put 200ml glycerine per 500 ml in the first water in the vase. Leaves and flowers will dry beautifully and can be used as dry arrangements. In most instances the flowers keep their colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a pleasant surprise to see them, so I left them to finish flowering. I will follow your advice next year hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fall has its own beauty... as do all seasons, but I sure do miss the 'colors' of spring / summer. Ruthie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
