Flowers of the Eastern Cape #16 - Happy Spring Day

Despite the aridness, the Steenbokmelkbos (Euphorbia burmannii) are making a beutiful splash of colour throughout the Karoo at the moment.


These plants also seem to attract the flies. I did not try smelling them for fear of getting a fly up my nose.

I have to drive up to Jhb at the end of the month so hopefully I will get some Karoo scenes along the way.
