This small reserve is situated half way between Darling and Yzerfontein. It was donated to SANBI by Mr. Tienie Versfeld sometime in the 1960\u2019s, as a reserve for this wonderful wet veld type which houses such a diversity of plants. There is free access – visitors must remain on the existing footpaths to avoid walking on the plants. Parking is along the main road and care must be taken when crossing this road, as the traffic can be heavy during flower season.\u00a0<\/p>

The main flower area is to the left after entering, where red\u00a0Drosera cistiflora, Babiana rubrocyanea, Geissorhiza radians<\/i>\u00a0or Darling kelkiewyn, and the very special yellow\u00a0Geissorhiza darlingensis<\/i>\u00a0can be seen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The area to the right is accessed via a walkway, but this can be very wet, so care must be taken. This reserve is best visited the latter half of September and into October.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This is a small reserve at the entrance to Darling on the Yzerfontein side. There is no charge to enter. Parking is at the gate from where visitors must walk.<\/p>

This reserve was ravaged by a fire at the beginning 2024. It is undergoing a remarkable recovery and small geophytes like Empodium, Spiloxene, Laperousia<\/em>, various colours and species of Oxalis<\/em> and Lachenalias<\/em> are abundant. Drosera are prevalent to the top right and Gladiolus<\/em> throughout.\u00a0<\/p>

March saw a wonderful show of Crossyne guttata<\/em>, Ammocharis longifolia, Brunsvigia orientalis<\/em> and Haemanthus pubescens<\/em>. Some of these only bloom after a fire.<\/p>

Visitors can take a walk and look for interesting plants making their appearance. Please be gentle – we are in recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Waylands Wild Flower Reserve is a small reserve, about 80 ha, with around 300 species of flowering plants throughout the season. Access is only during the wild flower season as the veld is used for normal farming activities during the rest of the year. Access is free; there is a road which is suitable for light motor vehicles only, definitely not for heavy vehicles such as buses. Normal access times are from sunrise until sunset. Visitors are welcome to access the reserve in their cars, but are also encouraged to walk around.<\/p>

Normal rules for flower reserves apply \u2013 definitely no picking of the flowers, no fires and keep to the road in your car; going off-road will require recovery of your stuck vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>

Waylands is well known for its variety, but more specifically for the\u00a0Geissorhiza radians\u00a0<\/em>(kelkiewyn\/ wine cup) as well as the vast field of Arum lilies<\/em> (varkblomme); they are named varkblomme because their\u00a0rhizomes<\/em>\u00a0(roots) are the favourite food of porcupines (ystervark).<\/p>

Wild flower viewers are warned that most of the flowers close at night and whenever it becomes cool. The best time to view any wild flowers is therefore from about 10 am (or when it gets warm) until about 3 pm (when it starts cooling down). If you want to see flowers, only those that never close such as the Arum lilies, will be viewable on cold or rainy days! It is always best to start your flower tour at its northernmost extremity as the flowers always turn toward the sun, allowing you to see them clearly as you drive southwards towards Cape Town. The extreme wet conditions this year will make driving off-road extremely hazardous; those vehicles\u00a0will\u00a0get stuck in the mud and are extremely expensive to recover. Google\u00a0Waylands wild flower reserve<\/em>\u00a0to get directions to the entrance gate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This large reserve on the hill above the Darling Primary School, is another area where all the renosterveld plants can be observed throughout the flower season. There is plenty of parking in the street at the gate, entrance is free and there are plenty of different footpaths, which have been cleared to take visitors to the different areas. Please don\u2019t just walk up and back down again, but branch off the main track to see more.<\/p>

You will see various Babiana<\/em>s like B.stricta, B.melanops<\/em> and the rare B.rubrocyanea<\/em>, the pink Ixia scillaris<\/em>, the white Hesperantha<\/em> falcata and Lachenalias<\/em> including newly described species. In September the Kalkoentjies, Gladiolus alatus<\/em> and the more delicate pinkish G.meliusculus<\/em> also known as the\u00a0 Darling kalkoentjie, make their appearance. Patches of pink Oxalis, Hermannias<\/em> and various daisies, Gazanias<\/em> and Romuleas<\/em> create a colourful tapestry among the glaucous Renosterbos and Kapok thicket.<\/p>

A treasure to look out for is the showy large star-shaped\u00a0white, pink or mauve Spiloxene<\/em>, normally covered in jewelled monkey beetles.\u00a0<\/p>

This is a reserve that deserves a long walk with a stop to enjoy the vistas over the farmlands and the town of Darling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Here visitors can drive through in their own vehicles (no buses); please follow the arrows to avoid congestion. There is no cost to enter. You may stop off at the two shaded areas to enjoy a picnic or just a rest under the trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Here too, are all the renosterveld plants, with more of those that like the wetter areas, such as\u00a0Romulea eximia<\/i>, the\u00a0Babiana rubroyanea<\/i>\u00a0(Kelkiewyn bobbejaantjie – only found in Darling),\u00a0Ixia maculata, Heliophila africana<\/i>\u00a0(the blue flax), lots of white and yellow daisies and many more.
