We may have discovered something rather special at Reiersvlei.. 👀🥳
While exploring the Limestone Hills, Corinne spotted a plant she’d never seen here before.
It turns out to be Cliffortia anthospermoides - a rare and endangered shrub believed to occur only in the Gansbaai area.
And there’s more…
The hills are currently covered in tiny spring flowers, some of them endemic to our area. We even have two mystery plants waiting to be identified by scientists in Cape Town. 👀How exciting!!
Could Reiersvlei have another botanical surprise up its sleeve?
We’re waiting with bated breath! 🌱💚
These little discoveries are also a wonderful reminder that our ongoing alien vegetation clearing is helping create space for indigenous fynbos to thrive.
