I have aloes, spekboom (or as we call it jade or money tree), geraniums, and what we call pig face succulents, not sure of their botanical name (just looked it up; Carpobrotus glaucescens). I struggle to grow lavender, I am not sure why. Other people grow it around here. Might have to do some research regarding them.<br /><br />Your plants Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-67108262285654035972017-03-24T09:54:33.116+02:002017-03-24T09:54:33.116+02:00Lawrie - I must try some spekboom :D

Another good water wise plant and has so many medicinal properties is the Moringa tree, it is really great, also in salads or dried! ;)<br />Love your blog.<br />Firefly farm adventuresLawriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952333627109648617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-70117030279574388902017-03-21T16:24:48.734+02:002017-03-21T16:24:48.734+02:00Diana - Thanks for the link.
