Gardens
Wonder wall
Cape Town city bowl residents might have noticed a new dash of greenery on busy Kloof Street. A wall garden that depicts the world map was erected earlier this year and has been growing before the Mother City’s eyes.
Flower power
Isn’t the green rose in this picture simply exquisite? New Italian concept store Super Flower is making its debut at the Salon del Mobile in Milan next week.
Forest fantasy
It has taken fashion designer Clive Rundle 15 years of intensive gardening to create this apparently neglected Victorian garden in Kensington, Johannesburg.
Water lilies: mandala of light
If you have a pond in your garden, plant water lilies. Or, as they do in the East, plant a lotus. Sooner or later a bud will rise from the muddy depths.
Moonflowers: sylphs of the night
Seductive moonflowers may release a heady, sweet perfume into the night air but be careful how far under their spell you fall, for their narcotic and toxic properties are legendary.
Urban Eden
On a tiny, cramped balcony in New York, a boeremeisie grows everything from garlic and herbs to roses and figs. And she documents her cultivating escapades on her blog, 66 Square Feet.
Bold papery lanterns
Is your garden let down by a drab patch that could do with a bright explosion of colour? Try detonating a bougainvillea bomb and then standing back to watch the effect.
Four seasons of fragrance
Tough as well as bountiful, our indigenous pelargoniums are among the most popular garden and pot plants in the world. Seductive, late-night clouds of perfume are a bonus.
