After good Winter conditions (rain, followed by sunshine, followed by more rain) Spring announces itself with a display of veldflowers, in colours too many to mention. The countryside is covered with flowers with names that read like the who's who from the Fauna and Flora lists of the world:
white rain daisies and tiny yellow button daisies,
blue flax and pink nemesis
winecups, sparaxis,
lachenalias and babianas
colourful vygies,
watsonias, and fields of orange and yellow “stink-kruid"
