Beautiful. The protea is a Leucospermum and the ‘protea I think ‘is a Mimetes. The last one is an Erica

Hi Elephant`s Eye, I dont think it is a Buchu,they usually have clusters of flowers.Could it be an Euchaetis ? I am more at home with the E .C flowers perhaps someone for W C can Id it

Hey Elephant’s Eye. Thanks for suggestion, images now numbered. Would be very interested to see if someone can confirm if 11 is buchu – I just had a cup of rooibos/buchu tea this morning
