Description

The vernacular name 'tjienkerientjee' is due to the squeaking sound produced then the stems are drawn across one another. Wow! Have just invested in a "Field Guide to Fynbos' - well worth the money! Yep, I am still stuck in the mud a Waylands... For another week or so of submissions! Off to a kite festival! Have fun, Clive

This is such a beautiful flower, and of course your photography is stunning. You are a master at this! I tried translating "tjienkerientjee," splitting it up every way I could think of (my translator doesn't do compound words) but I still couldn't figure it out. Whatever that sound is, it goes along with a lovely blossom.
