FELICIA ECHINATA IS TAKING OVER

Merrilee Berrisford

This dune daisy is very definitely not locally indigenous – coming from the Eastern Cape – but right through September it has been flowering prolifically all over the sandy areas of Betty’s Bay. Millions of seeds will be forming ready to crowd out more of our precious wildflowers. Barbara Jenman is leading a charge; battle-hardened Edward Silberbauer thinks we have already lost this particular campaign. The Harold Porter Nursery wisely no longer stocks this daisy. If it is in your garden or on your verge, please root it out soonest.
