#Flowers - 22 posts

Thorsten and I spent an hour at Indwe Park, a garden on the Liberty campus in Braamfontein. It's a beautiful bit of nature in downtown Jozi.

The Aloe Farm, about an hour from Joburg near Hartbeespoort Dam, is the best place to enjoy South Africa's winter explosion of aloes.

Every March, pink and white cosmos flowers explode into bloom in Delta Park. The 2022 cosmos seem even more beautiful than usual.

Thorten and I went hiking in Kloodendal Nature Reserve. It was my first time there in 11 years, and we saw hundreds of king proteas in bloom.

Ludwig's Roses, a massive rose farm just north of Pretoria, is a delightful place to spend an afternoon sniffing flowers.

It's a Lockdown Easter Sunday and among other things, I made French toast with Vermont maple syrup. I also had an emotional hangover.

Every year in March, the green field of Delta Park explode with pink and white cosmos flowers. This is the South African version of autumn leaves.

The Multiflora Market, east of downtown Joburg in City Deep, is nearly 75 years old and auctions off thousands of South African flowers every day.
