There are many nurseries along the verges of the roads in Kololo with plants potted in recycled plastic pouches that milk is sold in here filled with soil - I walk past a nursery every day on the way to work. I don't think all the plants are native and I recognize some of them from Southern California. It's surprising that no-one steals the plants from the roadside after dark. All these pictures were taken along Windsor Crescent, close to the apartments.
This is a creeper covering a wall with long curling tendrils and white orchid-like flowers
Another creeper, this one with purple flowers
Two different colored flowering currant bushes and a perfectly round aloe
Another perfectly round aloe specimen
I love the purple foliage contrasting with the canna lilies
A pretty planting with pink grasses and impatiens
These are wildflowers on the edge of the golf course - daisies and lupins. Think English country lane in June on steroids
Many Ugandans cultivate maize on their land (and if you look behind the maize, cannabis too...)
A broad leaf from this plant would make great umbrella!
There are several of these trees right outside my window. The leaves are like large ginkgo leaves only more ragged and the fruit is like tiny figs. An epiphyte is growing on this tree and there's another with fine ferny leaves coming through from behind.
Here's a pretty plant with pale pink and white bracts growing up a trellis in the apartment gardens.
Persian Silk or Powderpuff tree in the Sheraton Gardens
