Flame lilies and mushrooms and insects in January

Our national flower, the flame lily is flowering at this time.  They grow in the wild and are so beautiful.  We went exploring in search of flame lilies and were so happy to find some nestled amongst aloes.

All types of interesting fungi can be found here and there too. 

Walks through woodland.

 We have spotted lots of these hook-winged, net-winged beetles about.

And these very beautiful fruit chafers.  What magnificent colours!
