I would need to see a clear photo of the plant itself before I could identify it with certainty.

Here are some to keep somebody busy for a while. :wink: These were all taken at Mpenjati on the South Coast, and the flowers are very small - no bigger than a 20c piece.

Dzombo, thanks for your ID's....gives me an inkling of where to look...I know nothing about wildflowers! :oops:

With regards to No. 2...Indigofera spicata looks more like mine than the velutina...what do you think?

Spicata
