A FEAST OF FLOWERS

The previous experience was so fantastic that we decided to spend a week exploring the area around Kamieskroon in the heart of Namaqualand where a wonderful surprise awaited us.

Despite being late in the flower season, the reoccurring regular rains and cool weather kept them blooming profusely for some extra weeks and we enjoyed it thoroughly, visiting all our favorite spots and even discovering new ones.

It was years since we saw the daisies creeping up the slopes of the granite outcrops, making little flower gardens among the boulders and a pure delight to lie between them along the road for a spot of macro photography.

 

POSTBERG

In early September we spent a day in the famous Postberg Flower Reserve which is part of the West Coast National Park near Langebaan. Thank goodness we arrived at the entrance early as the queue of visitors was already stretching for some distance. After months of lockdown, everyone was eager to escape in nature and what better choice than to imbibe the beauties of the season in such a perfect setting.

After all the rain we have had this winter, Spring is exploding in a riot of flowers and we have enjoyed the most spectacular displays along the West Coast and Namaqualand in particular. It is years since the wildflowers have been so profuse and varied.
