Hi, I've been spending some time working on the Naude's Nek portion of the trip. We drove from the valley of Maclear on a dirt road that goes to the highest mountain pass of South Africa, 2500 m. The road eventually ends up in Rhodes. This is mostly high altitude grassland although there were some gravely areas as well. We stopped to look at flowers along our way the first day. I lost the diopter for my camera at one of the early spots and when I realized it, Rod Sauders was kind enough to go back so I could look for it and we found it. But that meant that the three cars in our caravan all traveled at their own pace and so we didn't all see the same things. When we arrived at the summit, the others had been there for awhile. After spending the night further along the road and having dinner in Rhodes, the next day we drove back from the other direction and did more exploring. I've included photos from both days. There were wonderful plants besides bulbs to see. One of the favorites was Cycnium racemosum. The hillside was a blaze of bright pink where it was flowering. I've added a main page for Naude's Nek with some photos of the area. David Pilling has lately been busy adding maps to our places wiki pages so you can check that out as well. If you look carefully you can see Rachel Saunders on one of the slopes close to a Cyrtanthus and Bob and Marlene Werra trudging through some marshy areas to get to a Dierama siting. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> I've also added the first page of plants we saw from A to C. There was a very cute short Albuca growing in the gravely area at the summit, Albuca humilis. We saw more orchids including some we had seen before. New ones were Corycium alticola and C. flanaganii. Once again we saw the beautiful Cyrtanthus epiphyticus, but on the summit we also found Cyrtanthus breviflorus in bloom (I only saw one clump). We also saw C. tuckii. This was a single siting for us too and unfortunately something had been eating one of the flowers, but you can still get an idea of what it looked like. <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> More to come.
