Protea

My husband planted this protea bush (above) a few years ago when visiting my mum and it is really going gangbusters now!

Having a bit of a vague out at the moment and can't for the life of me think what this one (below) is called.  I have seen them used a lot in native flower arrangements in the last few years.  Like the protea, this one doing very well in Mum's garden despite the drought which has really bitten hard in Melbourne.

This is really for Emjay who wanted to see my mum's Japanese-style pebble garden:

Pebble garden

This is actually not the main garden but a little side bed.  there is a larger bed with two larger trees which look something like the one Emjay posted photos of.  Was a bit hard to photograph that bed though.  Hope this gives you enough of an idea, Emjay.
