From your Cape Crusader

The diversity of the Cape’s flora is something I’ve known about theoretically for a long time but now I’m in amongst it all it really is a life changing experience. From pelargoniums of every shape, size and fragrance, to proteas which are all in full bloom at the moment, to watsonias, zantedeschias, strelitzia (some of which are 10m high)  to today’s star tree Erythrina caffra, also known as the Coast Coral Tree.
