Dance In Sunlight

Summer Is Coming

Feel the heat rise, the skies darken with late afternoon early evening storms after the heat pummeled you all day long, no time to squander yesterday is today and tomorrow may never come.

Amaryllidaceae family - Clivia Miniata

Dancing in the sunlight the Clivia rises to give a proper smiling face after last blooms hid under the leaves from the rain, sun has appeared once more, they grew taller to express their joy!

These evergreen plants are found in South Africa and Swaziland, now popular throughout the world. Plants bear seeds for further growth and do have some medicinal uses

Another visitor to the garden after rainfall is the Rain Lily also known as Habranthus robustus, this plant is native to South Americas Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay also very happy and at home here in Durban.

Sunshine stimulates certain plants to grow after rainfall, magical moments looking up today as a heron appeared tried hitting the outer cirles of the sun halo, a cycle of life up above.

This was today around midday pumping thirty degrees celcius with humdity close onto eighty percent, being a sudden change one sure does feel it!

Warm enough the Natal bush snake appears out the roof rafters to greet me today, a completely harmless snake and one I do see often when walking around the garden, look at the lovely eyes and gorgeous markings this one has.

When we walk the garden in the afternoon and see the valley filled with humidity hanging we know...

Oh the promise of lightning storms at eight tonight will surely happen, no different from last night and the night before. We have had some lovely rains, sadly flooding in certain areas where cloud bursts have run amok through a couple of towns this Spring.
