Australian natives and grown here

Flowers from the bush

Australian natives last well in a vase, dry beautifully and follow a different calendar to the imported classics. Spring is the big season, led by Western Australia's wildflowers. Proteas and leucadendrons aren't native, but they're grown here and sold alongside natives, so they're included.
