Visitors: Jacob and Johanna De Vlas

Dr. Jacob De Vlas and Johanna De Vlas-De Jong were visitors here a few months ago.  Jacob and Johanna are avid nature lovers.  

They have written two books on Sri Lankan wild flowers (I have a link only to the older)

http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Field-Guide-Flowers-Lanka/dp/9551917006
The book contains mention of 1,060 species of flowers photographed throughout Sri Lanka, including very rare plants, some that are new to
Sri Lanka.

 Dr. de Vlas is a colleague/friend of Dr. Michael van der Poorten a leading butterfly expert (lepidopterist) in Sri Lanka.  He too made a lightning visit to Wilpattu House.
