Flowering Season 2010

Post by pietpetoors »

For those who would like to check out the flowers this year; you can follow the flower news at
http://www.bokkom.co.za/blog/category/f ... 0-flowers/
I try to give updates as frequent as possible. This year I am also trying to get guest writers from various areas to also contribute.

There are some flowers open in Langebaan already.

I've been to Wupperthal today, but there in the Biedouvalley are almost now flowers yet.

So for now, what I have seen the most that is open is in and around Langebaan.

Jaco, dit hang af van die reen en temperatuur en so aan.

Ek het elke jaar wat ek hier is my eerste blomme fotos geneem so in die 3de week van Julie.
Die blomme kan aanhou tot einde Sept toe, maar dan is hulle nie meer baie vollop nie.
Die beste tyd is eintlik maar so van middel Aug af.

Daar is heeltyd blomme, dit verskil net in spesie en area. As jy oor 'n paar weke kom gaan jy dalk nie al die wit daisies sien wat ons nou sien, maar jy gaan dan miskien weer meer gousblomme sien.

As mense in die veld loop sien jy ook baie meer as wat jy van die pad af sien

Julle gaan dan betyds wees vir die Clanwilliam blommeskou
Onthou sa daar nie baie blomme daar is nie, plekke soos Langebaan en Darling is net so 200km van daar af.
Hou maar daai web site van my dop net voor jy kom om te sien waar wat oop is.

Jaco, daar is altyd blomme wat blom in die Weskus, daar is nie een maand wat ons nie blomme het nie. Dit is net in daardie tyd wat die groot massas hulle koppe oplig.

Einde September kan jy nog op seker plekke vet- en bol plante kry wat blom. Ek onthou verlede jaar was die blomme by ons in Langebaan al weg, toe is daar nog pragtige bolplante in die Darling omgewing sigbaar.
