Thank you for support @steemitbloggers

You are having your spring to summer season now, correct? The foliage in front of the mountain range looks lush with new green growth. I really appreciate the many photos of SA that you and others share with us!

Yes we are now into summer, we have had rain this year which transforms the African grasses to green after winters gold/brown. Thanks for lovely comment and visit.

A very nice tree Tuesday! What pretty country they have there!

Thanks for visiting @old-guy-photos very different conditions to Northern Hemisphere, surprised to learn about rose family species on this continent, have got one of the eight in my garden to share soon.

Wish it was closer down, bit difficult to capture a close up clearly.

@joanstewart - I don't know the Ouhout and I have learned something about rhe African Dog Rose Rosa canina and the Red stinkwood - very interesting. Thank you.

I have the Desert Rose - Impala lily in my garden, Ouhout when you see it now you will recognize it in higher mountain regions.

The South African Dog rose, Rosa laevigata as also the Macartney rose Rosa bracteata that are planted along farm fences in the Western Cape do have their uses and so also the wichuriana hybrid Alberic Barbier that is planted for kms along the roads in the Elgin region. Source

Found the article interesting reading as to how long roses have been around.

Red stinkwood is a tree that is in our local parks, unfortunately due to medicinal properties in the bark one does see the trees being stripped of bark periodically.

Beautiful photos and great info about this interesting tree. I can see where it would play an important role as a Windbreak, and give shelter to a lot of critters!
