Come Closer, My Child

During a lovely day at the Huntington Botanical Garden today, we took the guided tour. I've never done it before, but we found some pretty interesting things. Such as, this African Fever Tree.


Now, my auntie and I had exactly the same thought at exactly the same time. (And now my mother is too...)


They grow my the banks of the great, grey, green, greasy Limpopo River.


Don't know what we're talking about? Read "The Elephant's Child" by Rudyard Kipling and then come back.
