Much of my inspiration for growing (and landscaping with) indigenous plants comes from 20 years of wanderings around the cliff-faces, valleys, ravines, gorges, forests, coast and grassland of the Wild Coast, particularly eastern Mpondoland - home to exceptional endemism. The accompanying picture is from a gorge where I've noted intense quantities of Plectranthus, Clivia, Hypoxis, Scadoxis, and Impatience under one of the richest sub-tropical forest canopies imaginable.
