Cape Wild Flowers in Spring

Spring flowers photographed around Cape Town, South Africa, during a short stay of five days. I could post 500 pics, such is the diversity, but it has to end somewhere. It will take me some time to get all the identities sorted. If you want to help, drop a comment. Thanks for looking, and vote if you like.

JC - Excellent - I grew up in Worcester - and flowers and spring are synonomous. Thank You for the beautiful display.

People do not realise that you do not have to go to Namakwaland to see wild flowers in spring, you just have to walk out in the veld and look down.

Thank You - Leo Theron
