Thank you so much! Yes, need all the help I can get. With over 8000 species it is very difficult to ID. I also want to buy some Fynbos books as the web does not have very informative photo's etc to help. You can also see the Fynbos mission that we started for some amazing plant pics!

Hi Wendy, I honestly have no idea. I have a feeling it might be a type of weed, but I found them amongst the fynbos here in Western Cape. Ill keep searching for an ID to help us!
