Cape Town, botanical garden: Avatar's garden

The botanical garden in Cape Town [see wiki] is spectacular. It is filled with African dessert, savannah and high altitude plants and trees, with exotic shapes and colourful flowers.

Many living room plants you know from home, you see fullsize and they often have big flowers.

Strolling through one of many lanes, it looks like a tropical paradise from another planet, a garden out of the movie Avatar [1] [2] [3] [4] , see e.g.: Avatar’s New Twist on Plants.
