Some more pics taken by a friend of mine after some rain. I think the flowers are going to be awesome this year as we have had some good rain so far.

That plant life is totally different from the norm, and yet has a beauty that is unique and second to none! That such beauty can emanate from such a harsh arid area is truly something to behold.

Dankie, die fotos is regtig puik.

Froll, Jy het nie dalk die regte name vir elkeen nie?
Die Namakwaland name val lekker op die tong en is mooi beskrywend.

Dankie en Groete. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
