Wonderful!
Wow! Stunning and beautiful details! Love it!
This is magnificent! Awesome find Tim!
WOW! Love the 2nd photo. Looks like rope.
Thank you Tim! That's great news! Exited to see many more, and learn more about them too. I must admit I'm a rookie when it comes to Fynbos...
@ Smith's Zoo, I have added what fynbos images I have already posted to your mission. I am sure to have more in time. Regards Tim
What an astonishing picture Tim. I'd be honored if you add it to our "Fynbos of Western Cape" mission.

Pretty shots!
Very nice. I have a picture of something less colorful but very similar in structure. Perhaps i have a clue now. Ill spot it. Great pic.
Alice its quite similar to flowers of Mitragyna parviflolia
I never saw any quite this elaborate, but you don't forget the proteas you see.
Amazing show of the earth...
