Yes, still a sea of yellow, mostly Daisies.
Up close!
But that wasn't the only yellow flower! A Pea with needle-like leaves which we haven't been able to track down:
The flower up close:
And the buds:
Last week I mentioned the Lobelias were out, these deep blue ones seem always to be in flower:
Then there's a lighter one:
... and the Lobelia jasionoides:
The Pelargoniums are still in full flower:
More pink from these little pea-types:
Teedias, but they're nearly over:
.... and a lovely Mesemb, just one flower at a time at the moment:
The whole plant, with red edges to the leaves:
Some white, from Helichrysums:
Pseudoselago spuria:
.... and Zantedeschia aethiopica!
A noisy coot on the dam next door, didn't like the dogs wallowing:
The most important part of the Walk was to log the positions, conditions and size of the various Agapanthus walshii plants we know about. In the week, forester Tommy Eckley passed on a mail from Karen Kirkman, MTO's Environmental Specialist. I tried to log the positions with my phone, but it wouldn't work, although I could see where we were on the map. We have anyway started describing where the plants are, in the old fashioned way, on paper! Once all (many of the) the plants are plotted, a plan of action will be formed, either to leave areas unplanted or more sparsely planted, with maybe some from the stronger populations moved, but gradually, into those areas.
On the way home, a Drosera:
.... and a Beetle Lily Baeometra:
