IT'S SPRINGTIME IN THE CAPE!

Springtime in the Cape never disappoints the enthusiastic flower hunter. Even the most uninteresting patch of veld will contain a smorgasbord of colours, shapes and sizes as Timm Hoffman and friends, Robin and Patricia Burnett, discovered on Saturday 3^rd June 2016 when visiting a relatively disturbed area near the Westlake Golf Course. 

A stroll through the area just east of the Stonehurst Estate revealed some of the gems showcased below - what a treat! 

Get out there and look for yourself.
