h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I continued my exploration of the local Koppie (small hill) today. I particulary wanted to see what the Euphorbia clivicola's were looking like today. They are succulent plants that are very rare ... they only grow on this hill and a few others, in the entire world. I would say there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, on this particular hill ... but their survival depends on the hill remaining protected. If people should build houses all over it (as they're indeed doing to a small part of the hill complex), the plants will be gone. I really hope they'll not do that.

Anyways since last time I photographed lots of yellow flowers, I included a few flowers of different colours today! But there are even more yellow ones, as well. And a few other things too ... please take a look:

The new photos start with the 'Unknown Bulb' which is the fourth photo on that page, and they go on from there. Christiane, if you're interested, you can again use the 'Slideshow' feature - you'll see the old photos again, but like I said, the 'Unknown Bulb' is the first of the new ones and they go on from there.

Very dear Willem,

That is something to look forward to tomorrow.

Hello Christiane! I am happy to hear Keith is doing well, and also happy you were able to go and see him! All the best to him and to you. I hope you can see the photos without too much trouble! And thanks for your interest!
