propagate Prickly Moses

The tiny, hard seeds of Acacia echinula, the Prickly Moses, held the promise of sunshine. Each stubborn coat, a miniature fortress, yielded only to the gentle rasp of a file, a whispered plea to awaken dormant life. Weeks bled into months, a tense vigil punctuated by the hesitant emergence of pale green shoots – a fragile victory against the odds. The scent of damp earth and the soft rustle of new leaves, a subtle reward for patience, were a balm to the soul, a testament to nature’s enduring strength, and the gardener’s quiet triumph.
