Wow, that Banksia Rose, how huge! We had one once, and it always flowered profusely, it was only to look at not to pick, but that’s ok, I do that a lot with our flowers in the garden, but when I got to where you were talking about the Verbena and Lilac, at our last home we had both of them growing and always blessing us with a profusion of blooms. One of my favourite photos is of them both in a vase, such beauty. I happen to have The Great Dixter Cookbook, so next time I’m baking I will try those shortbreads, and like Larry’s Grandmother, I also like a drier shortbread.. I looked up “The Stones” on IG and noted that they are only a couple of hours from here at Daylesford. I’m sure you will have a great day with Jeremy, if you do happen to write about that visit I’ll look forward to that also.
