Nerium Oleander ‘Pink’ – a beauty and a beast!
Nerium Oleander
Nolina recurvata (Ponytail/Bottle Palm)
Nolina recurvata (Ponytail Plant, Ponytail/Bottle Palm, Elephant’s Foot)
This impressive palm-like succulent plant had been in our garden for about 5 years now.
Among all its common names, we love ‘Ponytail’ best as it fits it beautifully, with its bluish-green leaves ‘tied together’ and cascading down giving an appearance of a pony tail!
I’m glad that we’ve planted [...]

Jack’s Magical Garden (Sequoia Farm) in South Africa
Put on my globetrotting sneakers today and travelled to the wonderland of my flamboyant friend, Jack Holloway at Sequoia Farm, Haenertsburg in South Africa.
