Hi All, I ran across this gallery of excellent photographs of South African flora by a local South African photographer. There are many floral and scenic galleries with one that specifically focuses on geophytes. http://www.pbase.com/dorff/ It's raining in most of CA today; in the north SF Bay there has been better than an inch in the last 8 hours. To put this in perspective, there has been more rain in the last 3 days than in all of January in these parts. The temp is around 45 degrees F and its windy. ~Byron
