An essential guide to plant selection - available in South Africa from most major bookstores
What I love about plant biodiversity in Cape Town & beyond
HOT OFF THE PRESS!
An essential guide to plant selection - available in South Africa from most major bookstores
The Biodiversity blog has moved!
Please visit my new blog Plant Palettes. I'm as inspired as ever by our local flora, and have just finished writing a book on indigenous plant selection. Come and see what it is all about...
The Biodiversity Garden
The Biodiversity Showcase Garden is situated in the new Green Point Park in Cape Town. It features over 300 local Cape plant species, animal sculptures, interactive displays, demonstration gardens, a Khoikhoi display and more. The aim is to educate and inspire visitors to enjoy and value biodiversity. For more info visit Backtracking. Unfortunately Blogger/Google has 'lost' all the images, so most of the older posts are just text.

4. White rocks peeping out of water at Sirkelsvlei
ReplyDelete5.1 Carpenter bee holes on an old log or piece of wood.
5.2 Rusty metal "staple" holding a join in a piece of driftwood or log - a railway sleeper?
6. Seaweeds
7. Some sort of bone - whale bone? resting on coarse white beach sand
I think Lyn has got them all :)
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the seaweed shot.
4 light rock in dark water
ReplyDelete5 borer beetles were busy on driftwood secured at end with S wedge to stop splitting
6 Ulva rigida planted around the brown Dictyota dichotoma (poss. var. intricata)
7 body plates of Pelomedusa subrufa (Cape terrapin) found in or near vleis
Hello Marijke and Chris
ReplyDeleteChris, I agree No 7 is sunbleached body plates of the Cape Terrapin.
Lynn and Chris - sorry about my late response:
ReplyDeleteYou guys are spot on, right into the detail - well done!
Just the last one (#7) are tortoise bones, I think. It was quite far from a vlei - so assumed it was a tortoise.There were bits of the brown lined shell nearby. I better look more closely next time!
