Erythrina Livingstonia request

Just wondered if anyone on your site knows where I can find a specimen (seedling, truncheon or other) of Erythrina Livingstonia or Tiger Claw (a small (12-15’), uncommon tree from Mozambique. Intense red flowers in the spring. Full sun.)

You can mail me on jmr2667@gmail.com

Kind Regards

John

Unidentified purple flowers

Hello,

I snapped these unidentified purple flowers. Does anyone know what they are? I think they are indigenous to South Africa.

Moses Mabhida Landscape

Apart from Moses Mabhida being the best stadium in South Africa, it also has some pretty cool landscaping. Indigenous trees and plants have been used to soften the structure, creating a grassland with groves of trees. I like it a lot!
