Reflections! Enjoying the cooler autumnal mornings (16C) before the sun rises. #autumn #southafrica #courtyardgarden #treeferncottage #johannesburg

Love this succulent display, makes a good focal point in the veranda #succulents #veranda #verandaliving

A birthday gift from my son to his father, a painting of our house in France by a Malawian artist. #frenchcountryhouse #frenchcountry #vidou #tombeboeuf #southwestfrance

Not sure of its name but love the dark red velvety appearance of this rose, along the path in a friend’s garden.

Today is #HumanRightsDay in South Africa which commemorates the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960 when 69 protestors were killed. A reflective moment here overlooking the mighty Limpopo River. #southafrica #humanrightsday #limpopo

The nectar-rich Leonotis, “lion’s ear”, making a showy display and attracting sunbirds as well as bees to this corner of the garden. #leonotis #lionsear #southafricanflora #gardens #ig_garden

Wanted to post this little pic for St Patrick’s Day - one of my favourite little Irish hotels, Hunters Hotel in Co Wicklow - but things have been falling apart here in S Africa, power cuts daily for 4-8 hours & intermittent WiFi. Amazing how we take electricity for granted. Dreaming of home ☘️ ... Have a good week all! #sorryitslate #happystpatricksday #huntershotel #ireland #homesweethome #loadshedding #irishgarden #spring #springgarden #ig_garden

My first homegrown Protea, ‘Pink Ice’, is a hardy variety which can withstand drought and cold highveld winters. #southafricanflora #protea

Kniphofia really getting into their autumn stride. Strong colours needed in the South African sun and also against my dark walls. #redhotpokers #kniphofia #southafricanflora #orangeflowers

Early morning reflections in the courtyard garden. #courtyardgarden #reflections #mirror #gardens #gardening #ig_garden

Large pretty butterfly in my garden this morning, beautiful red “eye” markings on lower wings. Any Lepidopterists out there who can identify it? #butterfly #lepidoptera #southafrica

Vibrant bit of pavement planting, purple contrasts making the orange sing.
