Diane,
I did the trip in March/April 2007, from Botswana, Namibia to Cape Town.
Nieuwoudtville was very dry, it didn't rain for about eight months.
I didn't see any bulb, only dust :-(.
South Africa was much better, Amaryllis belladonna,Haemanthus and between
Clanwilliam and Citrusdal just besite the road (leftside) a lot Brunsvigia
oriëntalis in flower.
