    Hello,

    Here are 3 wildflowers from Namibia for ID

    For this country I use 2 ID books :
    - Field guide to wildflowers of South Africa by John Manning
    - Namaqualand. South African wild flower guide 1 by Annelise Leroux.
    With this doc I find 80% of my searches but infortunately not all
    If someone knows of other books I'am interested.

    Back to my search :
    - for #1 I think of erica sp but with many doubts
    - for # 2 and 3 I have no idea

    Thank you
    Cheers

    #1 looks like Nicotiana glauca - leaves would really have helped here. I'm not sure about the other two.

    Hello Iorax,

    Thanks for the ID
    Here is another picture of #1 in which the leaves are out of focus but that can roughly let imagine the general shape of the Nicotiana leaves (right side of the shot)

    That's definitely Nicotiana glauca. Thanks!
