Dee had received word of a rare plant flowering in the Kogelberg Reserve - which only flowers a year after a fire. She wanted to take a specimen and Colin wanted to photograph it. We took the opportunity to accompany them, even though we never learned, or forgot, the name of the plant.
The expedition involved a walk through lovely harsh scenery, at first obscured by mist, but later very hot without a shred of shade, once the sun burned through. Nicky spught refuge in a cool pool, the water discoloured by peat. We saw 2 very energetic tortoises, one of which had been damaged by the fire.
