24.01.2022 Primula ‘Gold Lace’ are bursting forth with their bright little flowers. I love this primula. So dainty and delicate in comparison to the potted colour primulas you usually see.

24.01.2022 Loving this Lord Howe Island hibiscus!

23.01.2022 Pink Pride of Madeira in full swing. The bees and the butterflies love it.!

23.01.2022 Its that time of the year! Keep a lookout for Cycads with cones! But beware, the flesh of the cone is quite poisonous in a many cases! Not all cycads will produce cones, as plants are other male or female. And only the ladies produce these spectacular cones! #malesoutdonebyfemales #womenwin!

22.01.2022 This is a unusual Clivia grown from seed. It was Clivia seed of Ndwedwe Super Gardenii. But this one is a subtle yellow form with a beautiful green skirt to the edge of flower. All its siblings are the traditions orange with green skirts. They are amazing plants.

21.01.2022 Love these little violets.

21.01.2022 Something for cyclamen lovers. I am always astounded by the huge variation in foliage shapes and colours. And I managed to add a few seedlings to my collection .

21.01.2022 Finally open and in full flower. The bees are living the pollen.

12.01.2022 European Peach Clivia. Brought inside out of the rain for controlled pollination. To produce baby peach clivia.

12.01.2022 Ever eaten yummy Yacon? Crunchy like an apple. Tastes like a sweet pear. Great for diabetics, or if your not. And has a huge array of super impressive qualities. Im digging up my plants to harvest the tubers which look like large sweet potatoes . And to propagate next years plants from the little pink crowns. They are always in short supply so pm me to pre order your yacon crowns.
