Aloe dichotoma (Quiver Tree) - Travel Mug
$29.99
Mug
Planet Explorer - Expedition Series - Travel Mug
Aloe dichotoma (Quiver Tree) in Namaqualand.
Why are they called Quiver Trees?
The Khoisan Bushman people of the Kalahari Desert, hollowed out the succulent branches to make "Quivers" to put their arrows in for hunting game. As there are not a lot of trees and resources in the Desert, they had to use what was available.

The Golden Ratio ( 1 : 1.618 ) - Double Sided Mug
$25.99
Mug
The perfect Ratio of 1:1.618 that occurs everywhere in Nature.
In this example I used the Corona (Latin for Crown) of a Stapelia schinzii var. schinzii flower (from Namibia, Africa), to illustrate Nature's divine Ratio. The Inner and Outer Corona, and Corolla Lobes (Petals) all conform to this exact Ratio.
The Golden Ratio (or Golden Mean) can be found in everything from human anatomy, to a nautilus shell, butterflies, insects, plants and flowers.
Architects used this formula (π / Phi) from the Parthenon to the Pyramids, and Renaissance Artists like Leonardo da Vinci used it for the Composition of the Mona Lisa.
