Aah Baloo...A Red Hot Poker view... from Oak Grove Farm

Baloo, my big baby boy, at the bend in the driveway with the Red Hot Pokers (Knipphofia uvaria) (Afrikaans: vuurpyl) that grow naturally on the South-facing slopes of Potberg, Soetanysberg and other coastal hills in the area between Clanwilliam and Port Elizabeth. Flowers October to January.

The views in the background stretch accross the Klein River Mountains all the way to Hermanus Lagoon and Hermanus itself.

Aah, such is life in the country! Our advert to be appearing in the July to December issues of Country Life magazine. Spot the bird overhead...

Rooibos House next to the Oak Grove showing the greenness appearing after the 15 days of fire which rages through the Overberg in January and February this year. The Buffalo grass planted in March is coming along well, so were the weeds and winter grass which were taken out by hand and dumped and later burned.
