Disa chrysostachya on a grassy hill

This Disa chrysostachya flower spike breaks the superficial uniformity of the summer grass experience. A temporary torch over open landscape, it is sure to catch the eye and lighten the mood.

Indigenous people of this land may not always have the words for expressing the impact of landscape on their minds, but the intuitive appreciation of unspoilt homeland vistas is big in the enjoyment of life of people from all backgrounds. Urban sophistication should never remove the sense of being part of the land.

Whether sweeping panorama under full sun or a darkened sky awaiting imminent thunder, the unobstructed view over rolling hills talks to live hearts. The seasonal lushness, vibrant flora and flashing glimpses of animals darting unexpectedly are all carried home as memory sustenance for the days to come.
