Minature Bush Beauty Part 2

In continuation of our series on taking a closer look at the tiny points of beauty in the bush, that we began in Part 1, here is a further look at some more….

First up is Lantana - the only Lantana that is indigenous to Botswana and South Africa. It also gets called Bird's Brandy or Chameleon's Berry!



up closer on the flower...

and the berries!

Then this one below doesn't have an English common name, 
but in Setswana it is 'Pookhunohu
or botanically a 'Hermbstaedtia fleckii'. 
Apparently the leaves can be eaten like spinach!







and up close at these pin-head size magenta-highlighted beauties!
