The yellow on the right is lichen on some branches. There is Zantedeschia in the centre next to some mesembs, Geranium fulgidum on the right and much else. All of this would be welcomed in the private garden by all who love fynbos.

Gardening means more because somewhere out there these scenes still occur naturally. Our reconstruction of such scenes at home says things about us, what around us resonates with the psyche. Deep down inside we really hanker after nature and need it to be preserved.

Even if we don't consciously decide, remember or act consistently in accordance with such a gardener value. And even if we make our gardens orderly in school geometry terms, or as close to the natural way of the veld.
