South African wildflowers
Hello folks,
I've just returned from a couple weeks in South Africa, and have posted photos at http://flickr.com/photos/mmmavocado/...7606625479692/ Please have a look if interested, and if those of you more knowledgeable than I of the identities of some of these plants, I'd surely appreciate your comments/corrections/completions.

Malcolm Manners You are well aware of how difficult it is to ID a plant from a photo, and probably the folks on Flikr from SA will do much better than I. I'm absolutely sure of only one: the one you ID as a Disa and express surprise at finding blooming in August is in fact Disperis capensis. Right family, wrong genus. Nice photo. The Oxalis is probably purpurea, but I bet you already knew that. Same with Ferraria crispa. Wouldn't even try any of the lithops, altho the area around Vanrhynsdorp is one of my favorites. |

Thanks Clay. I'll change the Disa label to Disperis. |
