Senecio tamoides
Another plants that grows naturally in South Africa’s wild places but has become a favourite in gardens the world over is the Canary Creeper with its splendid show of bright yellow flowers borne in summer and into autumn. In the wild it grows on forest edges and clearings along the coast from the Eastern Cape into Kwazulu-Natal and along the escarpment of Mpumalanga and Limpopo, and as its name suggests is a plant that scrambles over shrubs and along tree trunks and branches.

The bright flowers of the Canary Creeper
DeWetsWild 
Very pretty.
You should see the flowers in real life in the forest, it is almost as if they glow!
The Canary Creeper is well suited to conditions in the Eastern Cape: I ruthlessly cut it back once the flowers are over … and it grows back to full glory by the time the next lot of flowers are ready! I love the swathes of yellow when the creeper is in full bloom.
Did it also thrive through the worst of the drought, Anne?
Absolutely – it is very tough, although it does not care for frost,
Just goes to show that you shouldn’t underestimate anything’s character just because it is beautiful!
