Up we went, my new buddy Franky the Spark and me, to a spot 400m above sea level. Armed with the map from Mr A I thought we could not go wrong. Well, nothing went wrong, but finding the flowers all by myself would not have been easy. At A's 1st mark they were gone. Not even a wilted one. At another spot one soggy brown and ugly non-flower. Some nice ladies helped me out, but still, it took some time! However... Success!
