How beautiful. Images like yours are what make me want to live in South Africa.

Beautiful things make us forget especially if it feels so beyond our control to stop a process. Once again, please educate me: Are these lilies also called March lilies of which I had a unexpected clump one year and never again? I am on my way home after a month in Natal and will soon know whether I have some pink lilies this year.Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-67503927447228535742014-04-11T04:52:56.174+02:002014-04-11T04:52:56.174+02:00When I saw the first photo, I thought it was photo...When I saw the first photo, I thought it was photoshopped! I couldn't believe they would grow in that shape across a field. But then I saw the photo with you looking at them for scale to see that they are real. Wow, that must be stunning to see in person! Like Elke, I thought of ornamental Alliums too.

Which brings to mind the heads of Allium aflatunense - are they tumbleweeds as well, only smaller?<br />Have a nice day!<br />ElkeElke Schwarzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240511233143510506noreply@blogger.com
