Watch out for the South African weed orchids (Disa bracteata) which are starting to appear now. They spread so quickly and need to be pulled up, including the bulb, bagged, and put into the rubbish bin. We found 9 on Thursday. A friend, last year, had pulled out hundreds. They spread rapidly and need to be removed before they flower.

Common Flat-Pea (Platylobium obtusangulum) I love the leaves on this plant.

We had a bit of a surprise yesterday morning when Richard found this Long-necked Turtle midway between our dam and our neighbour’s dam. It was just pulling in its legs when Richard saw it, so by the time I got there it was well and truly hiding. We checked a little bit later and it was gone.

Just happened to be heading home when the rainstorm front was rolling in.

Aaaalmost warm enough for the Rabbit Ears Orchids (Thelymitra antennifera) but not quite. Unless it gets warm soon they will just self-pollinate without opening.

Next to the house was a lawn. In spring, these are only some of the things growing there. Still waiting for the Bulbine Lilies, Chocolate Lilies and more… Nature is so resilient.
