The Quiver Tree Forest, Northern Cape. Not another soul around in a vast barren plain and dotted around and along the cliff face are these strange giants, Aloe dichotoma or Kokerbooms , now known as Aloidendrom dichotomum or tree aloes. #aloedichotoma #quivertree #aloidendron #kokerboom
Simple homesteads along the road in the Northern Cape surrounded by Namaqualand flowers and flowering aloes. #countrylife #northerncape #namaquaflowers #springflowers #aloes #southafricanflora
When the veld flowers in early Spring! Hundreds of miles of spectacular flowers blooming in this dry semi-desert landscape. #namaqualandflowers #southafrica #northerncape
Sunset on the Cedarberg mountain range after a day of driving through fields and fields of Namaqualand daisies as the veld springs to life. #springflowering #cedarberg #southafricanflora #sunset
All along the roads there are carpets of wild flowers as the veld comes to life in early Spring #westcoast #southafrica #springflowering #northerncape #wildflowers #wildflowerseason
Sunrise, Paternoster. I’m on the fabulous west coast north of Cape Town and in the hunt for the fabulous spring flowering of the veld. #sunrise #paternoster #westcoast #southafrica
Winter is the flowering season for Aloes on the highveld where they can be seen all along the roadside in their orange glory in the setting sun. #highveldwinter #aloes #eveninglight
For Protea fans who would like to see them growing in their native Cape environment #southafricanflora #proteas #instaflowers
Thatched cottage under the shade of the ancient camphor tree, believed to have been planted by van der Stel in 1700, Vergelegen wine estate. #camphortree #vergelegen #somersetwest
The beautiful rill and fountain with a backdrop of the Helderberg mountains on the historic Vergelegen wine estate. #southafricanwines #vergelegen #somersetwest
More of those wonderful Proteas. #proteas #southafricanflora #leucospermum
Extraordinary fare, both visually and to taste, in the new winter menu at Gåte. Apparently “a dialogue between art, craft & culinary tradition”. It recently won Global Restaurant of the Year 2019. #Gåte #quoinrock #stellenbosch #finedining #restaurantoftheyear2019 #southafricancuisine
