This beautiful specimen is referred to by its scientific name as Gladiolus Priorii. This species flowers from April to June and is found on sandstone and granite slopes in the South Western Cape.

This species is referred to as the hairy legged or Web Spider. They often dwell on branches and feed off unheralded prey such as grasshoppers.

This wild mushroom is growing out of a pine cone. Fungus are known to help in the decomposition process. This is a good depiction of decomposition.
