Beautiful Massonia, Hans.  Nice pink to that first one, and of course the glorious leaves on the M. pustulata.  Excellent pics, as always!!  8)

All I did see were Zantadechias, pokers, Crinums, some dainty Gerberas and a large flock of
Cape white-eyes/Zosterops - a lovely little bird acting like tits  ::)

Other birds during the trip were Glossy Starlings, Ibis - destroying the ponds in Durban botanics, Hadeda, White-faced Whistling ducks, Bateleur, Fish Eagles, Roller, Bee-eaters, various Hornbills, Bulbuls, Robins, Sunbirds and the list goes on. My relatives had no idea about SA flora and fauna
