Beautiful photographs – I particularly enjoy the unfurling of the birch bark. I suspect the first photograph is of a Melianthus spp, which is indigenous to southern Africa.
Thank you Anne. Looks right about the Milianthus spp. Thanks for that too. I love knowing the names of things.
An excellent collection
Thanks Derrick. Getting chilly her finally.
