Jacob, It's exciting to see the Brunsvigia bosmaniae flowering in Nieuwoudtville that we saw only in leaf back in September of 2011. I'm not at all surprised at the bounty, as there were excellent winter rains that produced the best spring flowers in the past 20 years and must have set the stage for these fall displays. The brunsvigia leaves formed a nearly continuous green mat in the areas pictured, and the rest of the ground was lush with other bulbs and grasses. I'm sure they went dormant and everything was brown in a matter of weeks after we visited. The seedheads (with sprouting seeds) from the previous year's brunsvigia bloom were scattered everywhere. The SANBI reference to the location as Charlies Hoek was a bit confusing, as most maps and road signs refer to it as the Nieuwoudtville Wildflower Reserve. I just wish SANBI had posted better/larger photos. I seem to recall that the rock formations in the second and third photos are home to some magnificent populations of Eucomis regia and lots of other goodies. I see that there was an earlier brunsvigia post on the SANBI site: http://sanbi.org/news/… --Roy NW of Boston Need rain badly, but got a bit today...
