Experimenting with nativ Australian plants

During this week, the hedges, bushes and plants around our house were heavily trimmed. furtunately I was able to save some branches and flowers, so I could use them for experiments. Branches from beach cotton-tree where used for an Ikebana without Kenzan, I used havy branches with thick thorns from a hedge together with Spinnifex and big buds, which reminds me of corals, from a large agave bush as base for the beautiful white and pink amaryllis.
