We are holding a random drawing selected from the blog followers who will post comments in the next two weeks. Every new comment is a chance to win this striking apron featuring a silk screen of Mandela’s Gold, the specially named Bird of Paradise native to South Africa.

The Mandela Apron

The contest will run from today,September 9, to  Sunday, September 23 at 8 a.m. Cape Town time (around midnight in the U.S.A.) Then the random drawing will be held and announced here.

Each time you make a new comment during these two weeks, one chance is added to the drawing. So the more you comment, the greater your chance of winning. You can comment on any post new or older, whatever strikes your fancy.

Two things can enhance your chances of winning. Follow the blog by email (link in the sidebar on the right of your screen) and comment on any new or past post.

Make sure you enter as many times as possible.

Best of luck in winning this colorful apron!

Note: More about Mandela’s Gold.

Mandela’s Gold

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden developed a new variety of Bird of Paradise flower.  The plant breeding for the new variety took a number of years. In 1994 when Nelson Mandela was elected President of South Africa, the garden named the flower after him. So you will show a little piece of South African history every time you wear the apron. And you can tell this story.
