Abstract

Introduction: Have you ever noticed the abundance of wildflowers on public open spaces during spring in Cape Town? I suppose some Capetonians would be aware of Rondebosch Common and the astonishing botanical diversity it contains, including many threatened species. However, it appears that very few people are aware of the many other public open spaces that may be just as precious and put on a spectacular spring flower show. But for how much longer?
