We need the tonic of wildness…We can never have enough of nature…We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.

"Restio - Thamnochortus sp" - watercolour in Moleskine Watercolour Notebook
The first impression is one of sombreness. But as the breeze moves, the Restio plant's colours flash through the blades - khaki, terracotta, chocolate. Gardeners world-wide are captivated.
Lovely - be they make a nice rustle in the breeze, too!
