Hi Floerent
Lovely travelogue, is your dad really into succulents or is he just adventuorus ?, I love those Othonna cremnophylla they look seriously NICE. Are they rare in cultivation ?.

How long were you in S.Africa?

Only one spare tyre is really restrictive Florent. We rent a 4WD with two spares - and a fridge (a real treat to have ice cold drinks after a long walk). If you'd like details, let me know.

Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!

I would literally kill for viable O.cyclophylla seeds.
I've been searching for them 2 years at least, no luck yet.
All what I got were poor, unviable ones. :evil:
