Is it at the bottom of the park, just as you turn on the S25 after entering at Malelane?
Seen these flowers many times but haven't a clue what they are :redface:

Yes, Freda, I suppose it's at the "bottom" of the Park! :roll:

But you won't see mountains on the S25! 8)

On the way to Berg n Dahl, and I dont think the flowers are convolvulus, I think they are too pink.

I have seen that flower often, just wish I knew its name :(

I think it is the road from Lower Sabie to the Nkumbe lookout. I often see the flowers, but don't know the name. It looks like some sort of petunia (don't know the scientific name either). Did a bit of research. In Afr 'Wildetrompettertjie', scientific name, turbina oblongata. Unfortunately I cannot find the Eng name for it, but if I do a direct translation, it translates to something like wildtrumpeter? :hmz:

It is indeed the S110, between the tar road and Matjulu! Well done Foxy! :clap:

(I think Thlalabye is the mountain in the background, looking South.)

Don't know about the flowers, but they are very common!

Better late than never - isn't the flower a Goats Foot / Ipomoea brasiliensis - wild guess .............

Description :
A sprawling creeper, long runners bear pairs of bilobed leaves (resembling a goat's cloven hoof). Flowers trumpet-shaped, bright purple.
