SATAY BY THE BAY

cycads and Bachelor's Buttons
This corner with the dinosaur relic bone, Olea europaea (Common Name: Olive Tree) tree and Cycads has a new lease of life recently and in my opinion, is looking better than before with the Adenium obesum (Common Name: Desert Rose), Euphorbia geroldii (Common Name: Thornless Euphorbia) and Gomphrena globosa (Common Name: Bachelor's Button).

FLOWER DOME - AFRICA AND OLIVE GROVE

The African display is small but the Protea (Common Name: Pin Cushion, Sugarbush; Family: Proteaceae) is unmistakable. Then there is the grove of Olive Trees (Scientific Name: Olea europaea; Family: Oleaceae).

Today's weather - sunny
This is a continuation of the earlier post on the flower dome or cool dry conservatory. Just take a look at the myriad of diversity and colours from the many different species and cultivars of Pelargonium, CamelliaPentas lanceolata, Ajuga reptansHeuchera, Viola, Lavandula (common name: Lavender) and the grove of uncommon Olea europaea (common name: Olive Tree). 


How spectacular they all look under the light!
