Description:

Wildflowers of South Africa offers a glimpse into the country’s rich floral heritage, enabling the reader to enjoy our most spectacular flowers. Many of which are either hard to find, or have such short flowering seasons that unless the enthusiast is in the right area at the right time, their true splendour will be missed. The book takes in South Africas many and varied environments, from acacia savanna and montane forest to coastal sand dunes and seemingly endless grasslands, and the unique richness of the Capes fynbos kingdom. Superb photography reveals the flowers in all their vibrancy and delicacy, and also introduces the reader to the secret world of the insects, birds and animals that co-exist with the flowers.
