Hi, I'm skipping Naude's Nek for the moment where we spent part of two days discovering many wonderful plants as it will take some time to gather all our photos and Cameron's from the past to create a new group of pages for a new place on the wiki. We reluctantly left Naude's Nek but had a new treat in store as we were staying at a wonderful farm with very nice people, Balloch. It was very hot again so one of the delights was to cool off in a pool in the river after we unloaded. That night we had dinner outside in an open cave with a dramatic thunderstorm for entertainment. The next morning a hike up to the top of a mountain was scheduled before breakfast. Not only were the views spectacular, but we were rewarded by seeing several different specimens of one of my most favorite plants of the trip, Disa porrecta. I'm afraid I may have added more photos to the wiki than were needed to show its features. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> After breakfast we did another mountain hike in the area. Well, some of us did. It was already getting to be quite warm and there weren't so many plants to see so part way up the mountain a few of us found a cave with a lovely view and lingered there out of the sun while the rest of the group climbed to the top. Two plants seen at the beginning of this hike were Dierama robustum and Hypoxis angustifolia. Also spotted was a Gladiolus dalenii, but our pictures of it aren't very good so I didn't add them to the wiki. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> We were lucky to have experts along to help us with identification of these plants. The Hypoxis flowers mostly looked alike to me, although often the leaves were different, but not always enough for me to tell them apart. And a lot of the Dieramas looked similar as well. Later in the day on our way to the next destination we saw a single representative of Nerine angustifolia, but I didn't add it to the wiki either since there are already nice habitat photos on the wiki from Cameron. We then stopped at a field of Kniphofia linearifolia. The Kniphofias we saw were also the subject of some discussion as keys were reviewed in an attempt to tell them apart. I think this was the final conclusion of what this one was. Regardless of what it was, the field was very beautiful and certainly the habitat description seemed correct. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> Mary Sue
