In South Africa, this is mid-summer and people are getting ready for flower show.The nearest I came to Cairndhu was in a village called Pniel in the Swart River Valley that the slaves - people of mixed race- had built when they were freed in 1834.From the picture, you can see how successful they are at growing. They were lovely people, self sufficient in many ways and in no way inferior, despite apartheid. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1535417188
