This is one of the best tall stems with deep red bells tipped 

 with green ; it has been cultivated in Europe for many years. 



Climbing the slopes, I found an Adenandra new to me, a 

 little dwarf Sutera and Protea Susannae in flower. In August 

 and September the whole place will be starred with blossom 

 of every kind. I took home plants of a Salvia said to have brown 

 flowers, a little dwarf statice, and seeds of a charming bush 

 with green flowers near to the protea family. Curiously enough 

 it grew with the lovely green-flowered heath, but there was no 

 seed on that yet. As we came back from a tramp one evening 

 with high cliffs on our right hand and the sea on our left, the sun 

 was setting behind the cliffs, making a clear silhouette of the 

 bushes growing on their edge. We were watching this effect 

 when one of the bushes distinctly moved ; and as we gazed 

 we realized that the bush was a large buck. We saw one after 

 another of these most decorative creatures emerge from a 

 kloof and group themselves on the sky-line, making a very 

 charming outline. We were so far below that we were of no 

 interest to them whatever. 



On the way back from L'Agulhas we found the first freesia 

 in bloom, a small one with leaves like fingers flat on the ground, 

 and blooms cream deeply blotched with orange. We felt that 

 spring could not be very far away.
