Should be fine for Disa uniflora on Table mountain, and other orchids.

A couple of years ago I spent September admiring flowers in the
western part of South Africa. Fantastic.
Next month we are taking our grandchildren to Namibia and then South
Africa from Cape Town along the south coast to the elephant park near
Port Elizabeth.
I don't expect to see many flowers. We will visit Kirstenbosch of
course - the kids will like watching the guinea fowl while I look at
flowers.
When we were in Nieuwoudtville before, we were unable to visit
Glenlyon as the MacGregor bus was fully booked. The farm was made
into a botanic garden last summer, so there will be no problem gaining
entrance. Are there likely to be enough flowers in bloom in March to
justify a special trip up there?
