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.
