Two New Orchid Species Recorded at Grootbos

Our parting shot starts with this group photo of a field day with Bill Litveld, one of the authors of the Cape Orchids books who visited Grootbos this week and spent time yesterday hunting for orchids with the conservation team...


Bill Litveld and his astonishing expertise resulted in two additional orchid species being recorded and added to the Grootbos species list where we keep a record of all species recorded on the reserve. Welcome to Disa bolusiana and Ceretandra harveyana which had not previously been recorded at Grootbos.On behalf of everyone at the foundation, I wish you a wonderful weekend of sunshine so that you can spend time outside.
