When you wake up in the morning ...

It’s spur of the moment, but how about a quick fynbos hike

No time for fun, it’s off to work

My family comes first – make sure they’re ready for the day

I’ve just woken up – please, a moment’s reverie before my day begins

You’ve seen a beautiful fynbos plant – unlike anything you’ve seen before. Your first thought?

I will look it up the moment I get home

It’s so lovely – just look at that detail on the petals

I must contact a fynbos expert – it may be a new fynbos species

I’ll keep it a secret – don’t want it to be picked

I’ve planned a detailed trip into the countryside

An exclusive safari, no expense spared

Correct!

I feel it’s my responsibility to care for and protect it

You’ve been accused by a ranger of driving over a rare fynbos species. What happens?

I apologise profusely – it was an accident

I calmly explain what happened, no need to get excited

I’m angry – how dare he accuse me, when it was clearly accidental

Best way to handle this? Crack a joke, and be on our way

Correct!

Wrong!

-

You simply love plants – and you want to know more.

I’ll find a really good evening accredited course

The best way to learn is to get out into the veld

I’d love to have a certificate to show the world

I’ll do a botany course, along with all my other evening courses
