Sturt's Desert Pea

Berri, Riverland, South Australia

Growing near the cottage where we were staying. The owner told us of the hardship
trying to grow new plants, she has problems with rabbits & kangaroos eating young
plants and recently planted a $100 worth and they vanished overnight. She's
now trying out the rabbit guards to see if that will save the new plants. Once
they are past the baby stage most take off and grow really well in the dry sandy soil.

A very unusual and colourful plant ,beautifully presented...lead pellet trajectories are the quickest fix for rabbits and roos..

Looks like patent leather. Rabbits have to eat.
