Hi,
after the great day at Caledon our next stop was the Area of the Bain's Kloof. This Area is known for a special form of Drosera capensis, as well as for Drosera regia.
The weather was close to the weather we had at Matroosberg, so we should have known what will happen
At the beginning of our walk, there was only a bit of rain. Due to the high and wet vegetation, our trousers started to get wet very soon with the results, that water is running from our legs into our shoes. We got more and more wet!
We finally reached the location of Drosera regia where we have been three years ago. As the weather was so bad we only stayed about ten minutes and only took a few not too good pictures.
At this place there is also Drosera admirabilis (the form known as sp. "floating") growing.
After we returned to our car we changed our clothes and started to continue to look at our places in that Area.
Beside some some Drosera aliciae, capensis and trinervia we also found Drosera liniflora.
At the end of the day we had to see, that a very nice location of Drosera capensis, that we found in 2009 does no more exist! The road has been renewed and during this process, the location was destroyed.
