Flowers for my mother

Gathering the January flowers from my garden for Wildflower Wednesday.

Many of the flowers in my garden came from my mother’s Camps Bay garden. White Pelargonium, electric pink Salvia greggei,  Santolina in the little hedge, tuberous begonia with its interesting leaves and tangerine Bulbine.
