September is the month clivia miniata and nobilis starts to flower in the Garden Route- a month before many indigenous bulbs in this region starts to flower. It is a time when small frogs can relax inside the clivia flowers and snails and other insects get something different to eat. This year I did not expect many flowers after a very long drought, but was surprised with more than a thousand flowers in one shadehouse alone during the 2nd week of September. I usually start to take photos just before sunrise as I enjoy the colours of the flowers when the morning rays fall on them at a sharp angle and the light is not so strong.
