Travel the vast expanses of the arid Karoo burnished orange by armies of winter blooming Aloes as we make our way to the narrow stip of land that lies alongside the cold Atlantic on the West Coast of South Africa. Here after late winter rains we find the rolling hills and short often succulent vegetation burst into the annual spring flower extravaganza. It is here that carpets of daisies and other flowering plants colour the landscape with intense oranges, yellows, purples, blues and a thousand shades of spectacular colours found nowhere else in Africa. It is a short period of intense floral activity but one on a good season not to be missed
