During these hot and dry months the shade of the
Dell and Camphor Avenue is most inviting. Here, the orange heads of the

On Table Mountain the beautiful red orchid, Disa uniflora, flowers along the streams. Pollinated by the same butterfly, the bright red flowers of the succulent Crassula coccinea hang on the dry cliffs. | |||||||||||||
