Wild Veld Flowers - new Plant Group added to website

Over the last few years my interest in the 'little veld flowers' that we seldom see as we speed along the highways, has been aroused.  They vary from sub-shrubs to succulents, bulbs, annuals, perennials and creepers. I have collected seeds and pictures of many of these little gems and am experimenting with some of them to asses their usefulness in the gardens of tomorrow. For most of these plants there is very little information available, other than my own observations, and I have not yet been able to identify others.  A few of these wild flowers are being offered to nurseries from the wholesalers and such species as Abutlion sonneratianum and Monsonia ovata are now available. To whet your appetite, here are a few examples of wild plants to be added to the website.
