arum lily frog in danger


It's the start of arum lily season in the Western Cape and yesterday presented the perfect opportunity for me to take a photo of the arums growing wild in the reserve in front of my house - godbeams were spiking through the clouds all day long, it was really spectacular!
But what I really wanted to bring your attention to was the endangered arum lily frog, so please have a look at the note below...

Apparently if you see someone selling arum lillies you must call City Law Enforcement on (021) 596 1400/1424
It is the start of Arum Lily season. Two tiny endangered frogs - the Arum Lily frong and the Micro Frog sometimes shelter in the cup of these Lilies. We are desperate to curtail the gross destruction of Lilies. Please don’t buy Lilies sold at traffic intersections.
Would you please do a tiny bit, and just forward this by email to everyone you can?
Please Dont kill Arum Lily Frogs

  1. "Godbeams".....I have a friend who is also a photographer, and taught me about "Godbeams".....I think of him whenever I see them now and it's always a precious pause for me.....

    This photo captured them especially beautifully, Andy...thanks, as always, for the lovely moments, the "precious pause".
