Single Satyrium membranaceum in fresh regrowth of herbage after fire of nine months before. Another poor specimen in top right hand corner of photo. Membraceum here was outnumbered by Satyrium princeps.
Ambient temp. 23'C with cool breeze off the sea. Yet strong scent of Agothosma apiculata in the air and underfoot when trodden on. Much of the low herbage in front of the camera contained this aromatic plant. The famous Schoenies Smell. Schoenmakerskop resort in the background.
The buttress in right rocky foreground with its hill and slope to the right out of the picture was strongly scented today by Agathosma apiculata's Schoennies smell in the air. 23'C with cool breeze off the sea. Low tide. S'kop resort in trees in background.
Schoenmakerskop houses with their characteristic Araucaria monkey-puzzle trees backed by the two kops. The Aloe arborescens plants in the bushiness of the foreground cliff-shelf have been introduced.
