Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of the great botanic gardens of the world. The Garden covers 36 hectares in a 528 hectare estate set against the eastern slope of Table Moutain in Cape Town, South Africa. The protected mountainside supports natural forest and fynbos along with a variety of animals and birds. The garden displays a wide variety of the unique plant life of the Cape Flora as well as plants from the diverse regions of southern Africa. Some of these plants are grown outside and some in the Conservatory. One of the rooms in the Conservatory serves as a display area for bulbs. This area is ever changing with pots rotated in and out when flowers are in bloom. Below are links to images of plants growing at Kirstenbosch, either shown in the bulb room in the Conservatory, planted in the garden or growing in the natural areas.
