As I mentioned before, we had the opportunity to spend the morning on Gaika's Kop after Cameron immediately came up with a plan for much improved accommodations when a place new to him turned out to be a disappointment. Gaika's Kop is a isolated dolerite outcrop in the Amatola mountain range in the Eastern Cape. The portion we were exploring is managed by a local forest company that periodically burns it and it had been burned in the past year so Cameron thought it might be a good place to visit and it was. We divided into two groups with some of us choosing to explore the lower part of the mountain which was mostly grassland although there were a number of rocky areas. Four traveled to the summit which had a whole different group of plants. Since my husband went to the summit and I stayed on the lower area we have pictures taken both places. Cameron was kind enough to furnish some text about Gaika's Kop and I have added some habitat shots. I'll add the table in a few days. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> On the lower slope we saw an Albuca which was not identified, but I'm wondering if it could be Albuca nelsonii. Also we saw Agapanthus praecox, including one growing in a depression in the rocks. Bulbine abyssinica was in various stages of bud and bloom and is quite a striking plant. And we saw a lot of Dierama pulcherrimum. On the way coming and going to the summit was a Cyrtanthus huttonii growing in the rockface. And on the summit they saw two Disas, Disa chrysostachya and Disa sagittalis. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> More to come from Gaika's Kop in the next couple of days. Mary Sue
