Kirstenbosch's Bookstore is something else! There you find every book on gardens, indigenous plants and nature you have always wanted, and more! Yes, I did go there with the intention to buy Doreen Court's book 'Succulent Flora of Southern Africa'. That was before I knew that it was so rare and hard to come by! I quickly changed my mind when I saw the price of it. Boy, that was well out of my league!!

Even so I walked out of there with four new Wildflower Guides, the Lachenalia Handbook and more. I really had to restrain myself! You are very welcome to Doreen's book, Jerry, as long as you mention me in your last will!!

You can go and browse through the bookstore yourself at: Gardens of the National Botanical Institute
