On a hot day, walking the Bo Kaap's cobbled and steep streets, I noticed the plants. They are minimal, scrappy, and tough. The colors of the old houses behind them accentuate their form and texture.

Lots of succulents, lots of thorns.
Crown of thorns (a Euphorbia species).
Even a dying bougainvillea looked dramatic.
Spikes and shutters.
Spekboom, Portulacaria afra.
Even the weeds look good.
