Indigenous and flowering
This spring the clivias have been flowering later than usual, usual being September. They are a magnificent example
of the striking beauty of our indigenous plants, and these plants thrive in moist shady spots and do well in suburban gardens.
It is a highly poisenous plant and has been used for magical purposes in the African tradition.
Interestingly the porcupines, who love to eat bulbs, stay well away from the clivia plants!!

Wilderness walks
Whether you are walking on the beach, in the open veld, or in the forests, the Wilderness walks are easy and well signposted.
Because they lie in protected nature zones, one may on the odd occasion come across a bushbuck, a mongoose crossing the path,
possibly even a cape clawless otter and of course francolins and guinea fowls. The rock pools are wonderful to explore, with sea urchins, star fish to see and sometimes the elusive octopus.
So a trip to Wilderness is definitely for those who need to relax and unwind and who also enjoy walking and exploring.
Of course there are also beautiful gravel country roads, which make for perfect mountain biking.
Until we walk again,
Christa
