Roger Swain opens in the greenhouse displaying a wonderful flower arrangement made up of flowers native to South Africa.

Adrian Bloom is en route to the majestic Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Roadside highlights:

Leucospermum sp. (lg. yellow flower) Pelargonium sp. (pink) Achillea sp. (yellow)

At the reserve, he is joined by Jim Halloran, Nature Reserve Officer. More highlights:

Back in the greenhouse, Tovah Martin helps Roger re-pot a severely pot-bound clivia miniata. The plant is divided by sawing it into sections. They use a potting mixture of 3 parts soil-less mix to 1 part builders sand, allowing 1" between the roots and pot and 1" below the rim.
