I should stress that I am absolutely no expert in growing Disas. We have however observed Disa cornuta in its habitat on the most Southern tip of Africa and we have visited the area around Cape town which is home to Disa uniflora, always mentioned in write ups about Disas

Here we are at the end of October in 2007 ( Spring ) at the Cape of Good Hope
The vegetation around this area is called Fynbos, consisting of low growing plants and shrubs
We were attracted by the really white, beautiful blooms amongst the vegetation and started to explore the area.
Imagine our excitement when we ( actually Klaus) found a Disa which we hopefully identified correctly later as cornuta.
Table mountain is always mentioned as a major Disa habitat. We took the cable car to the top and were able to observe the vegetation along the ride. Again, lots of Fynbos, with blooming Proteas and Geraniums/lots of low shrubs and plenty of Lichen
If you feel like seeing more of Cape town and vicinity and the famous Kirstenbosch Garden, here is my link. The contact sheet is not linked, but should give you an idea what these pictures are about.
