South African flower quiz

I hope you will forgive me if I keep this short after another long drive. I also want to be a bit self-indulgent as my boys wanted to see what sort of car I was driving up all these mountains. So here is a photo of my car on the descent from Naudes Nek pass.

Descent from Naudes Nek


Naudes Nek is the highest driveable pass in South Africa and highly recommended for any flower lovers, especially the eastern slopes as shown here. But tonight to keep it short, I thought I would give you a test. Here are twelve photographs of flowers I saw on Naudes Nek and here are the twelve names that belong to them; see if you can work out which is which.
