#spekboom

[thehollowwriter]

Jack's broomquet card has pincushions, I think proteas and other fynbos flowers in it! And that's super cool!

They're native to South Africa and endemic to the Western Cape! They're extremely beautiful, the fynbos biome is underrated.

Also fun fact: The Cape Floral region (mainly consisting of Fynbos) is a World Heritage Site because it's considered one of the areas richest in plants (contains 3% of the world's plant species!) and provides exceptional value to humanity worldwide.

Fun fact 2: The spekboom absorbs so much carbon dioxide that a lot of big companies plant them to make up for all the damage they're doing to the environment- its been proven that a thicket of spekboom is more effective than an entire rainforest in absorbing CO2!

A client's Portulacaria afra, (spekboom, dwarf jade, pork bush). Had to repot it as Hurricane Ian picked it up and dropped it. #bonsai #dwarfjadebonsai #spekboom #bonsailife #bonsaiart (at Adam's Art & Bonsai Studio Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHWOG3O4jD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In times of Corona: grab a shovel not a shopping trolley😁. That's the article title from The Gardian I read after we planted a whole bunch of Spekboom this morning. The #spekboom will serve as a #windbreak for our veggie garden and help take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. To all the #hoarders out there...please think of all the people who can only start shopping on the 1st of April when people receive their social grant. #covid_19 #timesarechanging #sustainyourself #growveggies #climatechange #stayhealthy #backpackingadventures #stayhome #elundinivibes #easterncapetourism (at Hogsback, Eastern Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91elSiphiq/?igshid=11cs8vwxjxz85

Portulacaria afra first styling/potting from my demo yesterday at the Hukyu Bonsai Society in Clearwater. Sweet trunk with hollows and spooky branching. It’ll be an amazing tree in a few years. #bonsai #floridabonsai #trees #portulacariaafra #spekboom #succulents #bonsaiart (at Adam's Art and Bonsai Studio and Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sXKvvgO-v/?igshid=9ntc5vdng73o
