So good Lorn could confirm that this was Robina, as I've not yet grown this one to flower. I do however have Robina planted for this year and actually put it a little bit shaded as I thought the colour would fade in the sun
. So I have certainly learned something new today.
Sad thing that you have to suffer from such horrible drought. Certainly putting a stress to everything and wild animals are of course also even more likely to attack garden plants when it's extremely dry.
Yes cut flowers from Chile, but isn't there also many bulb farms?
Chile Flowerbulbs, scroll down a little to read about last years bulb harvest:

How strange then that you actually have to import bulbs for your gardens while at the same time exporting bulbs in the other direction, but we do live in a strange world.
