Botanical Garden and Home with a Linky

Amanda with the home in the background 

We have the pleasure of knowing the manager of the Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden and his family. These are a few pics of their garden and freshly picked flowers that decorate their home. One of the plants that is happily growing in semi-shade in their garden was recently discovered and the manager brought a sample home. We have Spring in South Africa, so I'll be sharing lots of photos of the flowers in bloom at the Botanical Garden over the next few weeks.

The wife made this sign, "Plant Smiles, Grow Laughter, Harvest Love,"
which hangs outside by their front door.

This is a Wordless Wednesday blog hop.
Please load page as http and not https.

How to use the linky widget:

First make sure that you load this page as http and not https if you want to see the linky. Type in the name of your blog post under Link Title, then type in your email under Email Address (which I don't sell to anyone), then copy your permalink to your post (most link parties ask for blog posts and not blog homepages) and paste that under URL (make sure that you use http:// or https:// only once), then click Submit Link and that's it!
