With a name that means ‘midday flowering’ this particular genus is native to South Africa …. very topical considering the location of the 2010 World Cup ! Our royalty free photograph is of a pretty yellow Mesembryanthemum ‘Basutoland’ ….. Basutoland was once a British colony in South Africa but it was renamed as the ‘Kingdom of Lesotho’ when it gained independence.

The beautiful rambling clematis is a relative of the buttercup (Family: Ranunculaceae) with most species being ambitious climbers that develop woody vines.

All clematis plants are toxic to a greater or lesser extent so try to wear gloves if you’re handling or pruning them …. or better still just stick with our free photograph!

Chives are a common garden herb which produce clusters of flowers on their slender tubular upright stems. Chives belong to the onion family (Genus: Allium) so it’s not surprising that their edible leaves have a pleasant onion smell and taste.

Image of Daisies in Grass

Native to the UK, the wild varieties of daisy (such as Bellis Perennis) are commonly found growing in sunny spots on lawns and other areas of short grass.

According to Wikipedia, the name Daisy may be derived from “day’s eye” because of the characteristic way in which it fully closes at night.
