The Waterblommetjies Aponogeton distachyos are out on the Experimental Farm dam.
A more general view:
We wanted to check up on the development of the buds on the plant we have been watching for weeks, but on the way found these. We're not sure what they'll turn out to be.
Close up of the bud:
Here's some healthy looking re-sprouting from what might be a Cape Myrtle Myrsine africana.
Here's that grass again, the flowers ever more prolific!
Still it's only the Wachendorfias with the curly leaves growing flat on the ground which are out, and there are plenty of them. Those growing upright show no signs yet of any buds forming.
Here's our mystery plant, looking as if it's going to be a Satyr Orchid, one of the Satyriums.
Close up of the bud:
Open flowers on the Othonna heterophylla are still eluding us! We need some sunny days!
Up at the top, visibility was limited!
Back in the unburned section, there was a Brunia which was worth going off the path for! It was completely covered in these white balls.
At the ruined railway cottages, this Prickly Pear Opuntia always has one or two flowers out, best photographed in overcast conditions.
One wonders how the spiders manage on an electric fence, no problem, it seems!
We're clearly entering an exciting time!
