Lawrence Nicklin's love of proteas is the jumping off point in this dramatic display of the botanical richness of South Africa. Plantings are grouped regionally, including bold aloes from the arid western coast, arching restios of the cape province, and bird-of-paradise and clevias from the more tropical eastern coast. Leucodendron, leucospermum and protea species combine with the exuberant erica, dasies and flowering bulbs to provide incredible photo 'ops' from early to late spring.
