South African designer Leon Kluge and his team secured both Grand Gold and Best on Show at the Shenzhen International Flower Show with unique designs.

Shenzhen, China (27 March 2026) – What started as a behind-the-scenes build in a foreign country has now turned into a major win. South African designer Leon Kluge and his team have officially taken top honours at the Shenzhen International Flower Show, walking away with both the Grand Gold Award and Best on Show.

It’s a massive achievement at one of the biggest flower shows in Asia and a proud moment not just for the team on the ground, but for South Africa as a whole.

Speaking after the awards ceremony, Leon shared just how much the moment meant:

“South Africa won the Grand Gold Award. Not only the Grand Gold, we are also Best on Show. That means South Africa’s garden here at the Shenzhen Flower Show is number one.”

From the architecture right through to the plant selection, the winning garden stood out for its unique blend of influences, combining Asian design elements with strong African inspiration. It’s a fusion that clearly resonated with judges and visitors.

“Representing a mixture of Asian design and African influence in the design. Not only the architecture, but also the plants. And I’m very proud to take this on.”

Just days ago, the team was still deep in the build phase, working against time, language barriers, and the challenges of creating something world-class far from home. Now, that hard work has paid off in the best way possible.

“Thank you so much for all the encouraging messages from everybody back home every day, we managed to pull it off.”

After conquering one of the world’s biggest flower shows with two major awards secured, the team will soon be bringing their success back to South Africa.

South Africa’s celebrated flower expert, Leon Kluge, brings a stunning display of fynbos and the iconic King Protea to inspire runners along the marathon route and celebrate the beauty of local flora.

Cape Town, South Africa (16 October 2025) – Not all highlights of the Cape Town Marathon come from the athletes on the road. This year, runners and spectators will have something extra (maybe even different) to enjoy. A stunning floral display by South Africa’s own Leon Kluge, the internationally acclaimed plants expert, designer, and social media creator.

Known for his creative approach to plants, Leon has built a following online by sharing his knowledge of everything from seasonal growth tips to rare plant varieties. This year, he is bringing his expertise to the marathon, where participants will pass vibrant installation featuring iconic fynbos and the national flower, the King Protea, as the centrepiece. What a way to catch your breath and soak in some beauty during the challenging 42-kilometre journey, right?

Leon’s work does not stop at the marathon. He has been celebrated across South Africa and abroad for his floral artistry, including a gold-winning display at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London and several other prestigious accolades.

Another award under his name is the Landscape Designer of the Year at the Designer of the Year Awards, which honours the best in South Africa’s design and creative community.

While the awards recognise his decades of dedication to horticulture and design, it’s Leon’s passion for sharing plants with the world that makes his marathon display so special.

Runners will be experiencing the artistry and care that Leon puts into every stem and bloom.

From social media tutorials to international awards and now to the streets of Cape Town, Leon Kluge proves that the beauty of plants can refresh and even motivate athletes to keep moving. For marathon runners this weekend, his display promises a moment of pause and appreciation.

Ten years on, Garden Day continues to bloom, uniting communities, families, and even pets in a shared appreciation for nature and the beauty of slowing down.

South Africa (14 October 2025) – What started as a small idea among a handful of passionate gardeners has blossomed into a heartfelt tradition. On Sunday, 12 October, thousands across the country marked the 10th annual Garden Day by wearing flower crowns, gathering loved ones, and celebrating the green spaces that bring them calm, creativity and connection.

What was first a dream by a group of local gardening enthusiasts, Garden Day was created to remind South Africans that gardens, no matter their size, are places of joy, healing and togetherness. Over the years, it has become more than just a day of admiration. It’s a celebration of growth and community.

At Babylonstoren, this spirit was beautifully captured through the much-loved Perdeskoen Garden Day Competition. Each year, resident employees transform their surroundings into vibrant sanctuaries, celebrating creativity and care. This year’s winners, Jan and Gerda Kanfer, took first prize for their tranquil garden centred around a towering pecan tree. Jan Kamfer, winner of the Perdeskoen Garden Day competition, celebrated the moment alongside his family, who have been part of nurturing the space that captured the judges’ hearts.

Gundula Deutschländer is the Babylonstoren’s Master Gardener and says seeing trees grow has been such a rewarding experience.

“Over the years, watching those trees grow has been incredibly moving. It’s proof that small acts of nurturing  like planting a tree  can transform a whole community.”

And it’s not only humans who join the fun. Pets, from dogs to rabbits, have become part of the Garden Day tradition, often seen wearing their own floral crowns. This year, the House of Chommies hosted a first of its kind celebration dedicated entirely to dogs and their humans.

“Garden Day reflects our vision of a slower, more intentional way of living with our dogs and with each other,” says Chommies founder and CEO, Nathalie Klijn.

As the movement turns ten, its message reminds us to take a moment, step outside, and appreciate the joy that grows when nature is nurtured.

There’s no prettier way to say you care than with a bunch of flowers! Knowing how to do that with extra love and care makes it even more special. 

South Africa (17 September 2025) – Giving loved ones flowers never gets old. Personally, it’s one of my favourite things to do, and especially in Spring. Beyond how beautiful they always are, flowers can help you say things you don’t always know how to put into words.

You let the petals do the talking instead.

Shop-bought bouquets are always a win (I’ll take any flower, thanks), but taking that one extra step just makes it more magical. You’ll get rewarded with an even bigger smile.

Usually, my first point of action is to pop in at a local florist. Not only am I supporting a small business, I’m also roping in an expert who knows their stuff. There’s an art to putting a bouquet together, so I’d highly recommend you do that, if resources allow!

Here are a few tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way in creating meaningful bouquets that my loved ones always treasure.

Start With What They Love

If you know their favourite flower, you’re halfway there. Proteas, roses, daisies. Whatever it is, make sure it has a place in the bunch. If you don’t know, ask them casually long before you need or want to buy flowers so you can surprise them. Or, pay attention to what they love in the garden, at markets, or at a nursery. It’s also useful to remember that different seasons come with different blooms. Showing them that you pay attention to the little things can go a really long way in demonstrating your love and care.

Even if you don’t know their favourites, you can choose flowers for what they symbolise. Recently, I learned that blue delphiniums are linked to dignity and grace, proteas to strength and beauty, chrysanthemums to love, family or friendship, and cheerful yellow craspedia symbolise joy and good luck. A quick Google search for seasonal flowers and another for their symbolism can help you add meaning to a bunch of flowers.

Leave a Note

A handwritten note often makes a bunch of flowers even more special. It doesn’t have to be long, just a few words will do. ‘I love you’ goes a long way. Or, if you picked flowers for their meaning, tell them. A line like ‘These proteas are for strength, and chrysanthemums for friendship.’ A few words from the heart never hurt.

Trust Your Florist

If you’re working with a florist (which again, I’d strongly recommend), share your ideas and then let them take over. Just as you wouldn’t commission an artist to watch you paint, you wouldn’t approach a florist and take over the bouquet. They know how to balance colours, textures and fillers to bring a bunch to life in the best way. Flower arrangement is their art, so let them work their magic.

Keep Their Pets in Mind

Think about who you’re sending flowers to. Do they have cats? Then skip lilies, they’re highly toxic. In fact, there are several blooms that could pose a risk to pets. Rather stick to pet-friendly flowers like proteas, roses, sunflowers or gerberas. A quick chat with your florist will help you find safe alternatives.

Homemade is From the Heart

And if you can’t get to a florist, that’s okay too. A bunch picked from the garden or tied together from a market stall can mean just as much. At the end of the day, it’s not about how fancy the bouquet looks, it’s about the love that went into it.

Here’s your sign to give someone you love their flowers!

Just outside Darling, the Oudepost Wildflower Reserve bursts into colour each spring, offering visitors a chance to enjoy nature at its most vibrant.

Darling, South Africa (27 August 2025) – With the days becoming warmer and the air filled with the promise of summer days, the Oudepost Private Wildflower Reserve is the perfect place to soak up nature’s beauty. Especially if you are looking to reconnect with nature or just soak up the beautiful scenery. Nestled just outside Darling along the R307 (Darling–Mamre Road), the reserve forms part of the historic Oudepost Farm, which is also home to the world-renowned Duckitt Orchid Nursery.

What makes Oudepost truly special is its protection of rare and fragile habitats, including the critically endangered Swartland Granite Renosterveld and seasonal vleiland. In spring, these landscapes transform into a living canvas, covered with dazzling wildflowers that celebrate the season.

Among the colourful highlights are the striking Darling Wine Cup (Geissorhiza radians), which often carpets the fields in purple, the delicate Snotrosie (Drosera cistiflora), the soft pink of Kalkoentjies (Gladiolus meliusculus), and the fiery tones of Peacock flowers (Pauridia capensis) and Kalossies (Ixia species). Each bloom adds to the kaleidoscope of colour, making it a must-see for flower lovers and day trippers alike.

Visitors can also extend their outing with a stop at the Duckitt Orchid Nursery, open to the public on the first Saturday of every month from May to November (9 am–12 pm). Here, you will find an extraordinary collection of orchids, with the Annual Orchid Fair coinciding with the Darling Wildflower Show on 19–20 September 2025.

With free entry during August and September, Oudepost offers the perfect way to welcome the season. So bring a hat, pack a picnic, and let the bright blossoms and fresh country air remind you why summer in the Western Cape is something to celebrate.

Leon Kluge shines a spotlight on the unusual winter bloom shuttlecock protea that attracts sunbirds and brightens the Cape

Greyton, South Africa (31 July 2025) – Winter may bring cooler days to the Cape, but it also brings one of the most delightful sights in the fynbos, the Shuttlecock protea. Plant explorer Leon Kluge recently shared one of his favourites. Known scientifically as Protea Aurea, this flower is a real treat for anyone who loves nature and beautiful gardens.

Unlike the big, cup-shaped proteas we all know, this one is a little different. Its flower opens wide, almost as if the cup has collapsed, showing off its tiny spikes inside. These spikes carry pollen and catch the light beautifully in the sun. It is easy to see why it is called the Shuttlecock protea; it literally looks just like the little ball from a game of badminton.

But the magic does not stop there. Sunbirds and sugarbirds cannot resist this flower. They land right on top to sip its nectar, and while doing so, they pick up the pollen. When they fly off to the next bloom, they carry the pollen with them, helping the plant to grow new seeds. It is a quiet little dance between the flowers and the birds, and it is lovely to watch.

These proteas do not only bloom in white. You can also spot them in soft pinks and pale yellows, and before they open, the buds look like tiny candlesticks. Giving the plant another sweet nickname, the candlestick protea.

If you feel like a scenic winter outing, the area around Greyton is full of these beautiful blooms right now. Walking among them, with sunbirds flitting around, is a reminder that winter in the Cape has its own special kind of magic.

The Shuttlecock protea may be unusual, but that is exactly what makes it so charming. A little winter surprise from our incredible South African fynbos.

South Africa has struck gold once again at the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show following last year’s winning comeback!

London, United Kingdom (20 May 2025) — It’s another gold for South Africa at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London thanks to acclaimed horticulturist and floral legend, Leon Kluge, right-hand Tristan Woudberg and their larger team.

Following last year’s magnificent and winning comeback that ended a lengthy hiatus SA took from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, hopes were high that the 2025 South African floral display would continue our golden streak, hopes that bloomed in full.

This brings South Africa’s tally of wins at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show (over a four decade period) to an incredible 39 medals; an inspired total considering that this is considered the world’s pinnacle flower show.

While last year’s display offered a slice of the mountains and the Cape Floral Kingdom’s wonders amid them, this year’s design was inspired by the ocean.

The design explored the influence that two oceans South Africa knows well, the Indian and the Atlantic, have on the flora in our country to gorgeous effect; offering both fynbos and cliff-dwelling plant arrangements to celebrate South Africa as “the flower basket of Africa” as Leon put it beautifully.

As such, the design required an incredible shipment of locally grown flowers and fynbos travel across the pond for the show. As Leon shares, there were approximately 25,000 stems that had to be cut by the team in order to get them into the water!

“Miracle” iris emerges after decades under a pine plantation.

Stellenbosch, South Africa (07 March 2025) — The recent discovery of a stunning new indigenous plant following the felling of a decades-old pine plantation at Stellenbosch has been hailed by plant lovers and conservationists as a botanical miracle.

A handful of these beautiful plants of the Moraea genus emerged on the slopes of Botmaskop on the Helshoogte Pass, just 50 or so metres from the border fence of the planned Botmaskop luxury housing estate.

The new plant has been named Moraea anastasia, with its species name derived from the ancient Greek word meaning “resurrection”.

One of more than 1,200 indigenous Iridaceae (Iris family) species in southern Africa, it was discovered by botanist Dr Brian du Preez, a Smuts Fellowship post-doctoral student at UCT. Du Preez had been carefully monitoring the slopes of Botmaskop after pine-felling in the former plantation area, which is owned by the municipality.

The discovery, together with three other recently discovered new indigenous Iridaceae species – another Moraea from the southern Knersvlakte north of Vredendal, an Ixia from near Wolseley, and a Hesperantha from the Nuweveldberge near Beaufort West – was announced in the latest issue of the SA Journal of Botany.

The other three discoveries were made by botanists John Manning, Nick Helme and NT Moolman.

This formal scientific description of the new plant allowed Du Preez to reveal his find publicly on Facebook by proclaiming: “Rising from the dead! A new, critically endangered Moraea species emerges”.

Du Preez, who lives in the Stellenbosch area, explained that he’d been monitoring plants emerging after the harvesting of pine trees planted on part of Botmaskop owned by Stellenbosch municipality, and had been looking specifically for any threatened species.

“The pines were harvested during the summer of 2024, and so after the clearing I started noting the species emerging in the now cleared area. Earlier, in 2023, I had coincidentally found one plant of the new species on a track where I walk regularly but didn’t think much about it as Iridaceae flowers are often variable in colour and I’d considered it just a colour form of a common species.”

Then, during a monitoring walk in October last year, he spotted a handful of these same plants. But he still didn’t consider their presence very significant. “I was still just thinking ‘Okay, these are quite pretty but it’s just variable colour’.”

Then, about a week later when he was at Kirstenbosch botanic gardens, he bumped into fellow botanical researcher and Iridaceae expert, Manning.

“I showed him a photo of my plant and said ‘Look at this pretty Moraea’, and then he said to me, ‘Wait! This is something different!’”

The formal scientific description of the species will now allow it to be protected by law as it will be “red-listed” as a critically endangered species.

Staff of the Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden have collected seeds from the plants and are planning to grow some off the site to help secure its future.

”You’d think that very few plants could survive active forestry over decades, what with bulldozers and repeated pine plantings and so on. So just the fact this plant managed has survived is miraculous in itself,” Du Preez said.

But the fact that the new Moraea population was not located within the formal Botmaskop nature reserve area was “a worry”, he continued.

“I’ve now found at least four threatened species on this site, one of which is critically endangered and another endangered, that have all come up less than a year after the pines were harvested here.

“It’s still early days, but I’m hoping that now that our new [scientific] paper has been published and the information is out there, we can engage with Stellenbosch municipality about formal protection for the property. If it’s left unchecked, this land could revert to a pine plantation or face some other threat.

“My hope now is that the municipality works towards a complete exit of forestry activity on the slopes of Botmaskop and initiates an ecological restoration programme to restore the natural vegetation in the area, incorporating it into existing protected areas in the Jonkershoek Valley.”

Du Preez said he was “very proud” that his efforts in monitoring indigenous plant species on the Botmaskop slopes have paid dividends and culminated in the recognition of a new species to science.

“We’re going to do our best to protect these plants into the future,” he said.

After a long time away, South Africa made a magnificent return to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, claiming gold!

London, United Kingdom (21 May 2024) — South Africa’s flora made a golden return to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London after a lengthy hiatus where our blooms were sorely missed.

Claiming gold for the flora display was a dazzling occasion for acclaimed horticulturist and floral artist Leon Kluge, who led South Africa’s return to the floral stage after a private sector-led team made sure South Africa would not miss out on another year of participation and evidently, another year to win.

South Africa’s history with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a legendary one in the world of flowers, with our country having earned 37 medals over 43 years, plus the recent gold we claimed.

This year’s display embodied a slice of the mountains; offering a marriage between our country’s natural beauty and the artist’s eye thanks to Leon and artist Tristan Woudberg along with a group of volunteers who helped bring the winning display to life.

A showcase of the Cape’s floral wonders and a multitude of species (22 000 stems were used) the display united a duality between the region’s dry and wet seasons, using clay to emulate the cracked earth while fynbos and protea cuts flourish. From high-altitude fynbos to the strandveld brimming with bulbs that hug the coastlines; not only is it a fabulous representation of the biodiversity of South Africa (there are even Trailing Protea, which mice help pollinate and the rare Protea Snow Leopard), but it is also a gorgeous visual feast fit for royalty curated with unique flora.

Beyond the perfect scores from the RHS judges, South Africa was awarded “Best exhibit in the Pavillion as well as the “Best New Design” award. This is unprecedented for South Africa at the Chelsea Flower show!

Conservationist Michael Lutzeyer, horticultural specialist Keith Kirsten, and Marinda Nel (who has a background in business development) as well as a transformative contribution from the Rupert Nature Foundation as well as Grootbos Private nature reserve all played a big part in the team effort to bring the floral gold back to South Africa.

Contributions from the private sector helped provide the financial support needed to create the display in London, and thanks to all of them, we have one more reason to be proud and many more to conserve the future of our country’s natural heritage.

Cape Flora SA, a non-profit established in 2005, offers their support this year and remains steadfast in its commitment to the sustainable harvesting and growth of the fynbos industry. The display promotes the demand for high-quality fynbos cut flowers in international markets, providing livelihoods for stakeholders and communities within the South African fynbos industry.
