Bietou
Osteospermum moniliferum
Bietou (Osteospermum moniliferum) is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub in the Asteraceae family, native to the coastal regions of southern Africa—from the Cape Peninsula through KwaZulu-Natal to Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The plant grows up to 2 meters tall and equally wide, forming a compact, rounded growth habit with dark green, slightly serrated leaves. The characteristic yellow flower heads, with a diameter of up to 40 mm, bloom primarily in late autumn and winter, and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. After flowering, berry-like fruits develop that ripen into dark brown or black spheres, which are a favorite for birds. The plant is extremely drought-tolerant due to its semi-succulent nature and thrives in well-drained, sandy soil in full sun. It is easy to grow, grows rapidly, and has a lifespan of 8–12 years.
European hop-hornbeam
Ostrya carpinifolia
The European hop-hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia) is a deciduous tree of the Betulaceae family, widespread in the hilly and sub-mountainous areas of Southern Europe, the Balkans, and Southwestern Asia. It grows wild from sea level up to about 1300 m, often on calcareous soils and arid slopes, where it acts as a pioneer species capable of colonizing poor and degraded soils. It typically reaches 15-20 meters in height, with an oval crown, reddish-brown bark that flakes into thin plates, ovate serrated leaves similar to those of the common hornbeam but with more pronounced veins, and fruits enclosed in membranous bracts gathered in infructescences resembling hop cones, from which its English name "hop-hornbeam" is derived.
Ruby Necklace
Othonna capensis
Othonna capensis, popularly known as Ruby Necklace, is a creeping and trailing succulent native to the arid regions of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Its cylindrical, finger-shaped leaves are grayish-green and develop intense ruby tones at the tips when exposed to plenty of sun and little water. In winter and early spring, it produces small, yellow, daisy-like flowers on thin, elongated stems. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and is widely used in hanging baskets, rock gardens, and compositions with other succulents.
Wood Sorrel
