Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town

 

Just look at these flowers, spectacular !  Blown away by the gardens, they are vast so lots of time is needed to appreciate it all. There's a couple of restaurants which we treated ourselves to on our second visit, then we could stay all day. Lots of birds added to our list here. Here's a few snaps for you, plenty more still to come !



Nelson Mandela



The flowers were fantastic


and the trees were equally as good






Lots of conservation work going on but afraid for these plants it seems too late


Strelitzia Regina grown especially for Nelson Mandela. Would love to be able to grow these in our greenhouse but afraid we definately lack the heat 


Obviously not a hot day.....Karen in her many layers !

A view of Cape Town in the distance


and with Table Mountain in the background, it ticked every single box. A fantastic day xx
