Eugenia capensis

Juicy berries from Eugenia capensis - the branches of this tree were hanging so low with this heavy laden fruit, the vervet monkeys just devoured them.

Dermatobotrys saundersii

Dermatobotrys saundersii - Tree jockey.
This plant belongs to the Snapdragon family. It is an Epiphytic forest shrub,  fairly rare and not that easy to grow. Iv'e had this one for 2 years now and there are times when it really appears to be dead, then all of a sudden a few leaves and these little orange tubular flowers that last about 10 days, then these hard scaly dark berries appear - you can see them in the background on the left. A really strange unpredictable plant!!

Leonotis leonorus

I don't have much sun in my garden so this was a lovely surprise - Leonotis leonorus (wild dagga) with it's fire orange flowers.

Rose Quartz

These Plectranthus have just flourished with the pieces of Rose Quartz placed around them.

Impala Lilly

This Impala Lilly I have had for 15 years - I always look forward to its flowers at the beginning of winter.

Indigfera frutescens

Indigofera frutescens - seeds, as soon as the winter afternoon sun falls on these seeds they snap open  - with everyone wondering what that noise is!!
