Manilkara Meander for photos of Dovyalis lucida

As Geoff Nichols had found ripe fruits on the Dovyalis lucida trees at Manilkara Meander, Kate and Graham picked up Lindo and went up there on Sunday afternoon.

After a brief stop to take photos of the Strychnos gerrardii fruits, we walked a little further, examining all the Dovyalis lucida trees as we went.

While doing this we found Clausena anisata and Manilkara nicholsonii in fruit.

And then, requiring some precarious cliff-edge perching, we found several Dovyalis lucida in fruit.

Low on the ground were Streptocarpus haygarthii with their pale blue flowers.

Further along we found a Tridactyle bicaudata subsp. rupestris with abundant flowers and Zaluzianskya angustifolia nearby.

On the way back to drop Lindo off at Beacon Hill we found a few Watsonia inclinata and at the office there was a cheerful display of Schizochilus zeyheri.
