Table Mountain has many endemic plants - plants that only grow there and nowhere else in the world - including several ericas (heathers). One such erica is the Box Heath (Erica pyxidflora) which we saw on our walk this morning in the Kalk Bay mountains (part of the Table Mountain chain). 
Erica abietina the Red Heath, is also a Table Mountain endemic.For more ABC Wednesday posts, click here.

ReplyDeleteI love Daffodils and these "Erica's" are really lovely in their own way tool. They look like something the Faeries would like ;)
