#BotanyOnTheRun makes me the slowest "runner" ever, but trail running fits my personality because you get off the beaten path and get to see what others can't from a car. π
6. I definitely prefer trail running to road. I prefer the environments, the variation and the pace. A good trail is about 50%-100% slower than the speed of a road run over the same distance. Trail running is not the same thing as an off road run.
Let me add on more pics of these special #succulents. Nestled in the silica pebble layer, one can easily walk past an not see them. #BotanyOnTheRun
In the undergrowth, the Polystichum dracomontanum (#Drakensberg Shield #Fern). My intended closeup was a bust π
#BotanyOnTheRun 101, stand still when taking a picture!
This #Orchid is Brownleea galpinii subsp. major. Named after Rev John Brownlee, an early Scottish missionary who collected the type species B. coerulea in the Eastern Cape. With 7 species, 5 are found in RSA and in the region. #Drakensberg #BotanyOnTheRun
I found more near a stream under leaf canopy. #BotanyOnTheRun
@noxthelion @BotSocSA The flowers are so pretty in their own right, they transcend the white / black barrier. I love doing my #BotanyOnTheRun and seeing them out there in nature. (From a photographer's view, the black works beautifully πππ
).
I've come across so many Aloe peglerae in the rocky grassland above the kloof. I love seeing them! ππ±#BotanyOnTheRun
The overall scene of the Upper Tonquani kloof, #Magaliesberg. Above the Help-Help pools, there are batches of Crassula swaziensis growing on the rocky slopes in the quartzite sand. The leaves are soft, felt-like, covered with fine hairs on either side. #BotanyOnTheRun
Red new growth on Protea caffra and a 3m tree. I don't know what to make of the clumping growth on some of the trees? #BotanyOnTheRun #Magaliesberg
Not great pictures when trying #BotanyOnTheRun in #Magaliesberg . Diospyros austro-africana De Winter var. microphylla (Burch.) De Winter (Jakkalsbos in Afr.) The wood ofΒ Diospyros austro-africanaΒ is used to make fire. The fruits are edible. https://t.co/z45bz6XXAp
Sweet, jasmine-like fragrance of Wild apricot. I found pink and white flowers! Ancylobotrys capensis is an evergreen shrub with trailing branches, dry grasland and rocky ridges in the #Magaliesberg Fruit resemble apricots when ripe later in Summer. #BotanyOnTheRun
Maerua cafra (Witboshoud in Afrikaans) was covered in flowers. Their numerous white stamens make the evergreen shrub stand out from the dull background in Spring. #BotanyOnTheRun #Magaliesberg
Died out and papery, this is all that is left of the flowers of a Helichrysum. My guess an H. argyrosphaerum because they like sandy soils and disturbed areas. This one next to a path in #Magaliesberg #BotanyOnTheRun
Here we go! #BotanyOnTheRun, Aloe peglerae where they aught to be, on the warm northern slopes of the #Magaliesberg π€π
Pavonia burchellii (Dainty Pavonia) Named for Don JosΓ©PavΓ³n, d. 1844, Spanish botanist and explorer. This 1m high shrub grows in the forrest margin in #WatervalBoven flowering between November and April (our warm months) #BotanyOnTheRun
The Hermannia transvaalensis is a herb with trailing stems that grows from a perennial rootstock. Yellow flowers are pendulous, growing in grassland. #BotanyOnTheRun
