It's Everybody's Business
The vegetation of the Klein Karoo and adjacent Riversdale coastal plain area is unique. Approximately 4500 species of plants that occur nowhere else on earth are found here, in three internationally-recognised, biodiversity hotspots - Fynbos, Succulent Karoo and Valley Thicket. This, along with the empty landscapes, the seascapes, the solitude and the silence, make this a very attractive area for tourists, especially those from more crowded parts of the planet.
But the Klein Karoo is also an area that is water stressed. Rainfall is naturally low, but damage in the water catchments, and along the rivers, has not improved the situation. In 2011 therefore, the Gouritz Cluster Biosphere Reser...

    This was fun to watch, been repotting and learning about my plants that I grow in pots growing in nature from around the world, was fun getting about an 80% naming rate as I watched.

    Another group no one talks about but exists are the Nicolettias. These are succulents, which can move to follow trace water. Plants like Echeveria, Titanopsis, Crassula Ovata, ect. All send out aerial roots. These roots allow for these plants, to detach from the base of the main stem and set roots in another location. This allows the plant to slowly move, to a more preferred location. Taking advantage of light, water, shelter. It us more complicated than this, these are the basics.

    It is unfortunate that these people were unable to identify the plants they filmed to the people watching this video. Less prestigious people have done this successfully.

    Excellent, excellent video. I had the grand pleasure to tour these areas back in 2002 with some of the most knowledgeable succulent experts of their day. A trip I will never forget. The whole experience was life changing for me, and I ultimately moved to New Mexico since so much of the landscape was so simular to South Africa, although the plants are quite different. If you get the chance, take the trip, its well worth it in so many ways.
