If I could go for a walk in an indigenous forest every day I would. I love the beauty and peacefulness of it and don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough for it. One of the thing that I always find very interesting are the young fern leaves that’s coloured pink, something I saw quite a lot of in the Tsitsikamma last week. I asked somebody in the area once why the young leaves are pink before turning green and the answer that I got was that they grow so quickly that the photosynthesis only kicks in afterwards.
Gorgeous! Looks like the fall colors here.
Beautiful. If you want to ask a botanical question, a good route is to post your pic on iSpot (http://www.ispot.org.za/) and it will be asnwered by Tony Rebelo of Kirstenbosch, one of our top botanists who has an enclopedia of knowledge for a brain.
