It was a colorful place; pink proteas from ZA, purple iris, blue salvia, green lizards, glicine, green-glass bulbs atop lights, golden frog-tapped drinking fountains, aloes, herbs, a grotto with the founder's wife Susan's statue, a nymphaeum plus the pseudo-Greek Temple of the Sun. The latter had running waters, poinsettias and palms plus quotes from Brit composer/founder William Walton's pieces. Interior designer Simon Verity painted some corny Pompeii brothel action scenes on its walls.
