Namaqualand Spring Flowers

Something magical happens around August up the West Coast of Southern Africa. Normally arid and dreary, the landscape becomes alive with color after the winter rains. Every year, the feast is subtly different. Some years, the carpet of wildflowers covers everything. Some years, it's more subtle, but equally compelling. This year, an early warm spell in July brought nature's splendor out for an unseasonable early display. Where are the flowers today? Is it still worth your time (and gasoline) to drive out to catch a glimpse of those famous Namaqualand daisies? Follow this group for tips, updates, and special flower-themed events in the region. If you can't make it this year, bookmark this group for future reference and try again next year. Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the spectacle vicariously through the photos of other visitors.
