Some time ago I featured a plant in our garden that was all stressed and red because of the dry weather and the heat,
but here it is now…all green and with flower spikes for the first time that we have known,
Up close the pin-head size flowers are just so stunning - like a bridal bouquet!
This one is called a large orange Kalanchoe and we have it growing in pots as well,
up close
Could you spot the 'Yellow Carpet Bean' flower if you took a walk through the bush?
Here it is a bit closer..
and when you are really up close!
This 'Yellow Justica' flowers are just the size of a fingernail..
and here it is up close
This pretty little flower also just the size of your pinkie fingernail doesn't have any English or Setswana name and no known local uses!
How could you be so beautiful and be nameless!
Botanically it is Tephrosia rhodesica
Keep watching for more posts of the Bush Beauty that is blooming so profusely after the late rains!
