Explore and Enjoy the Weskus Flower Magic

After the winter rainfall, the WESKUS is transformed into a white wonderland as the rain daisy makes its appearance. But soon the orange gousblom splashes the white with orange, followed by the yellow Cape dandelion, blue flax and purple hongerblom for the ultimate veld palette and celebration of beautiful colours.       (Ref.
