My South African garden....

Could this be your home country or Uk...some of the plants there look a bit tender for here...not sure :((

Looks wonderful. What is it like to garden in SA Sunrose? Do you have a lot of bugs, pests and snakes there? I think it must be great to grow palm trees and roses in the same space!

It was wonderful in SA as I could grow passionfruit and tropical plants, but you always need plenty of sunblock and don't normally garden around midday in Summer due to the heat! I actually had many large spiders, bats (they loved my giant Strelizias) and snakes around my garden. I had a Rinkhals (this is a type of black Cobra with a white ring around its neck) living in a corner of my garden. It is very poisonous, but usually the snakes are more afraid of us than we are of them. I also had Spotted Genets....they are shy animals but they love Papaya's! (We call Papaya's a "Pawpaw" and we call Passionfruit a "Granadilla" in South Africa.

Good grief, I'm so glad I don't live there now! Only kidding, the variety of plants that grow in SA is stunning and I'm sure we would ALL like a bit of your sunshine from over there!!
