Top - the Langkloof mountains, responsible for tense outcrops of fynbos, expressly a South African product to this area and along the Cape region, further enjoyed by many overseas visitors; bottom L - choleus leaves spectacularly deep red tinged with a gold edge, a superb indicator of its health and R - the purple Cape Fig or taxonomic name, Carpbrotus Edulis or [both of our childhood name] - 'suurvy' in afrikaans, where its contents are embedded in a sweet jelly-like mucilage and the small fruit is tart indeed. The plant is treated along garden borders and at times flows up and over at a high level, looking quite wondrous.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful people of Lebanon who are faced with current perspectives.
