Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens


We went to Kirstenbosch for afternoon tea and had a fabulous hot chocolate. Met James' Dad and Aunt Mary. We went for a walk around the garden which has a stream meandering through it. cL and B walked in the water and we made wet footprints to say my feet stood here. There were amazing plants many of which are native to Australia also. Eucalypts, calistamon and pig face to name a few. L cant seem to get her tongue around the name for pig face which is vygie and wants to call it vokchoy. There were many succulents and cactii that L has seen in Tonys' garden and sculptures that reminded L of friends back home.

  1. Hey both of yas. It was good to get a mention in you blog about my garden !!! Even though Leanne is the only one game enough to come around to our place to look at it ! -lol. I cant belive you guys can be rude enough to think Walter looks like the "boulder monkey". Keep the beautiful photos and stories coming - it will be the only way i will ever see anything overseas ! :-(
