What I love about plant biodiversity in Cape Town & beyond
24 September 2011
Homegrown
This year I have my first show of Leucospermum 'Spider' in my garden. It's a hybrid of Leucospermum tottum with typical grey-green leaves and salmon-pink flowers.
I think the flowers are breath-taking - can't get enough of them!
An essential guide to plant selection - available in South Africa from most major bookstores
The Biodiversity blog has moved!
Please visit my new blog Plant Palettes. I'm as inspired as ever by our local flora, and have just finished writing a book on indigenous plant selection. Come and see what it is all about...
The Biodiversity Garden
The Biodiversity Showcase Gardenis situated in the new Green Point Parkin Cape Town. It features over 300 local Cape plant species, animal sculptures, interactive displays, demonstration gardens, a Khoikhoi display and more. The aim is to educate and inspire visitors to enjoy and value biodiversity. For more info visit Backtracking. Unfortunately Blogger/Google has 'lost' all the images, so most of the older posts are just text.
They are pretty special!
