South Africa: The 2015 Journey

[Jakov Minić]

Bjørn, I would love to see more!
This one is so mysterious

[Wannabebetter]

I used to be fairly surrounded by the flora of South Africa; immersed in it's beauty; sustained by its commodity. Tragically, I have now come to realize, I never saw any of it. No, not really. Not until now, that is.

Thanks for the primer! And armed with this knowledge... well, who knows? But I will, soon enough. Cheers!

Reading this whole thread brings back great memories. I am impressed that you have managed to get though all the processing and documentation of all your captures and am looking forward to seeing them on your UV site. Can't wait for the next spring to see what other surprises are in waiting. - I will be visiting this area again and again.

Thanks, Richard, you and Elsa made really great travel companions. Don't overlook the possibility of my joining for another spring event ....

I do have processed all my images and by and large completed the taxonomical identifications. However, spells of cold weather-induced pneumonia unfortunately have kept me back on the publishing side. Wading through the nomenclature of the flora in this part of the world is a gargantuan task and challenge in itself, apparently.

well off you go Richard and Bjørn - I am doing overberg tours only from now on

Bjørn I hope your health is on the mend. We only got to see about 200-300 of the approx.. 9000 species so lots of work still to be done!
