Cymbidiums are the best known and most widely grown of all orchids. |
I have been closely watching and nursing my Cymbidium flower spike. How exciting it is to watch the buds slowly open day by day..... |
The meaning of Cymbidium = cymbi ( kymbe) the Greek word referring to the boat-shaped lip. |
The flowers are long lasting and the Cymbidiums are the most rewarding of all orchids. |
This beautiful Cymbidium is available at Starke Ayres in Mowbray....an absolute haven for any keen gardener. |
I am working on a project to demonstrate homemade herbal salts and sugar scrubs to the ladies at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre. |
Homemade Herb Salt with Rosemary, Fresh Garlic and Lemon rind....... superb as a rub for any roast, or as an addition to any casserole or stir fry. |
Gifts from the garden and kitchen are always most appreciated.....even in Winter one can be creative ....go out into the garden...... it is a beautiful place to hide in the winter sun! |
