The Gazanias are actually a Cape fynbos species very popular with gardeners. You have to split them up & re-plant each winter when they start dying back. A lot of hybrids are generated from seed in the flowering season giving myriads of colour variations. Wild Warthogs are fairly common in town during summer where they raise their litters (no predators). They become quite tolerant of humans & cars but readily attack dogs giving them nasty cuts with those razor sharp tusks. Sadly, some are poached with wire snares. BTW, I completed the Skukuza 21 in 1:57 - my first race as a GGM.

Gazania! I love those flowers. We have quite a few of them in our front garden and I replanted a whole lot of seedlings just before winter so we should have even more this time. The garden out the front is very dry and quite sunny and they thrive there.

The warthogs look interesting but I don't think I'd want them near my garden.

I can only see 3 photos, it's just saying "Fetching more photos" forever :(

Cheers,
Dave
