Another piece of the Cape Floral Kingdom, brought indoors.

Meet the Blue Disa (Disa graminifolia) — a lesser-known indigenous orchid whose striking violet-blue flowers can be found tucked amongst our Cape fynbos. 🌿

Captured here in the bold brushstrokes of Hermien Van Der Merwe , and beautifully reimagined as a wallpaper design by Cara Saven Wall Design .

Another beautiful connection between the landscapes surrounding Stellenbosch and the spaces within Bonne Esperance.

Stellenbosch, inside and out. ✨
