Garden Euphorbia
The garden of the old school at Southwell, one of the earliest settlements of the area. In the shade of a spreading Erithryna tree, a Euphorbia is used to offer a resourceful but incongruous gesture of deference to English Romantic aesthetics. Both species are indigenous and endemic to the settler area, with a beauty altogether different from the oak and rhododendron they are here set to imitate.
