It's a bit odd that these native New Zealand plants looked so fresh considering they require full sun or they produce few berries. The Pincushions are apparently very hard to care for and die fast.

It took us 13 hours (and 13 years) to move to New York City. Apartment hunting hell and job hunting during recession was part of the deal of moving to the greatest city in the world. The challenges are worth every amazing experience we’ve had here. There’s always something to do. There’s never enough time. Roaming around the streets here is pure joy. This is our personal NYC story.
