Leonotis is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family Lamiaceae. It comprises 9 species. One of these, Leonotis nepetifolia, is native to tropical Africa and southern India. It is naturalized throughout most of the tropics. The other 8 species are endemic to southern Africa. Leonotis was named by Robert Brown in 1810 in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen. The name means "lion's ear". It will attract birds, butterflies and bees to the garden.           Leonotis intermedia commonly known as Wild Dagga, Broad-leaved leonotis or Minaret flower is a South African indigenous species. It can be found in the Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Previously it was known as Leonotis bachmannii, Leonotis brevipes, Leonotis dysophylla, Leonotis intermedia var. natalensis and Leonotis malacophylla. It forms a robust shrub that grows to 2 meters tall. It has velvety leaves that are silvery on the underside. From summer to autumn it bears eye-catching orange flowers that are filled with nectar.

Gladiolus saccatus  Seeds     Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae). Sometimes called the sword lily, the most widely-used English common name for these plants is simply gladiolus (plural gladioli or gladioluses). The genus Gladiolus contains about 260 species, of which 250 are native to sub-Saharan Africa, mostly South Africa. About 10 species are native to Eurasia. There are 160 species of Gladiolus endemic in southern Africa and 76 in tropical Africa. The fragrant flower spikes are large and one-sided. They make very good cut flowers. Gladiolus saccatus, formerly known as Anomalesia saccata or Antholyza saccata this plant extends from the western Cape of South Africa into Namibia. It is found in both summer and winter rainfall areas. It has bright red flowers and is pollinated by birds.

  Bushwillow trees often are important plants in their habitat. Savannahs in Africa, in particular those growing on granitic soils, are often dominated by Combretum and its close relative Terminalia. Other species of this genus are a major component of South-western Amazonian moist forests. This genus contains several species that are pollinated by mammals other than bats, which is quite rare indeed. But most species are more conventionally pollinated by insects or birds. 4-6m tree, white flowers in Spring, yellowish distinctive winged fruits, savannah. Sow Spring.

Satyrium coriifolium Seeds Common Names: Ewwa-trewwa, Goue-trewwa, Ouma-trewwa, Rooi-trewwa With its brightly coloured yellow or orange-red flowers, Satyrium coriifolium is one of the most attractive terrestrial orchids of the Cape Floristic Region. It is also one of the few species in its genus that is suitable for cultivation. The plants are perennial and have large underground tubers which enable them to survive the dry summer. Stems are mostly 25 to 50 cm tall and are normally very robust. Satyrium coriifolium can readily be distinguished from all others in its genus by its stiff leathery, semi-erect leaves with orange-red bars near the sheathing bases. The flower spike with its bright orange or yellow, comparatively large nodding flowers is very striking. As is typical in the genus Satyrium, the flowers are 'non-resupinate' (meaning that their hood-like lip faces up while the sepals and petals point down). The lip has generally two spurs in Satyrium, which is unique in orchids. The main flowering time of the species is from August through to November, depending on the available moisture in the habitat of the plants. Satyrium coriifolium is found in the western and eastern parts of the Cape Floristic Region from Cape Town to Grahamstown, and northwards as far as Clanwilliam. Its most common habitat is moist, sandy flats below 300 m above sea level (rarely up to 750 m). Colonies are often extensive and may consist of hundreds of plants. Though not essential for flowering, fire appears to have a marked enhancing effect on the flowering as in many other Cape orchids. It is hardly surprising that the bright flowers of this species attract sunbirds. The birds perch on the sturdy stems of the plants and feed on the nectar in their flowers. In the process, the pollinia (orchid pollen is normally united to form clumps termed 'pollinia') are attached to the bird's beaks. Bird species involved are mainly Malachite Sunbirds, but also occasional visits by Orange-breasted Sunbirds and Lesser Double-collared Sunbirds have been reported. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!

  The Zimbabwean Birds eye Chilli, is different to the Thai Birds Eye. Whilst similar in look and texture, the heat is more intense and it is more flavoursome. Some say this is due to the strong African sun.

Eagle Owl (bubo africanus) If there are no owls in your neighborhood, it may be because the habitat is unsuitable, or because there are no usable nest sites for them. They don’t build a nest, but use a suitable site. Position of Nesting Box: • 4 - 6 m above the ground, avoid direct sun. • Position box out of any prevailing wind. • Have a clear flight-path into the box. • Be in a quiet area. • Do not attempt to lure owls to the box with food, this will only encourage other animals and deter the owl. Nothing rusts on this box, as rust causes wood-rot. The wood has been treated with the best marine grade wood preserve available. The box design has been approved by Radical Raptors, Bird of Prey Rehabilitation & Awareness Centre. Eagle owls are predators of pest species, such as rats. Since they also eat insects, they keep the numbers of other potential pests in check too. Fewer owls mean more rats. The eagle owl is the most common South African owl. A distinguishing feature is the long and prominent ear tufts, but these are purely for show, as they have nothing to do with the actual ears. Their wingspan is about 1 meter. Generally the male call with two hoots: "Hooo hooopoooo" and the female answers with three. The fact that owls like to perch on telephone and electricity poles along the main roads is the cause of many casualties among them. At night when cars flatten insects, rodents and lizards on the road, the owls will come down onto the road surface to feed on the prey remains and are subsequently hit by passing vehicles. There are many legends and myths surrounding these birds and they are feared by many cultures. Historically it was believed that if an eagle owl roosted on your roof at night, it would surely mean a death in the family. This has given rise to unfounded superstitions, which threaten their existence in the wild. Already owls are increasingly forced to enter urban areas in search of food. Owls play a vital role in our ecosystem and it is important to safeguard them before there is a knock-on effect that will have serious environmental implications. If you ever see one bob its head up and down or from side-to-side while looking at you, it is trying to get a clearer, three dimensional picture of you. It is also interesting to note that owls’ eyes don’t reflect in torch light. References and further reading: • Ginn, P.S., McIlleron, W.G. & Milstein, P. Le S. Compilers, .
