Home Garden
The contemplation of nature is the cure of all ills.

What makes gardening in this climate so interesting is the appearance now and then of some of the most beautiful and exotic flowers in the world. Also some superb birds, and some very bizarre insects.

This sunbird flew into me at full speed, and while it was still dazed I took some fotos. Here it is just waking up again.

This page features various items in my gardens, especially my home garden, as it changes and flowers.

In September one year, the utterly spectacular Mucuna bennettii from New Guinea flowered.
This creeper pictured below flowered for the first time in late September 3 years after planting, appearing open and perfect on the morning of my birthday. It now flowers twice a year.
