This pretty (!) plant is the aptly named Strawberry Spiderhead Serruria aemula, an Endangered species.Michele Nel wrote:

It did make me think of a spider, when I saw it first

Don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful spider.
Well, actually I always thought there are not pretty spiders.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Kirstenbosch - a Closer Look.
Thanks for giving my flower a name Toko.... Hmm..there maybe more names needed...:)
I had a little walk around Kirstenbosch - you have probably all realised by now that I do that quite often. Some people pay to go to a stuffy gym - I go to Kirstenbosch...:)
It was quite overcast yesterday but warm and not much of a breeze - perfect for flower photography - so off I went armed with my macro lens.
First of all - flowers can be still very pretty even when they have gone to seed.
and from the old to the new....
And the only name I have for the above and the next 2 photos is "vygie".....maybe Toko can give them a better name...:)
And these little flowers remind me of happy smiling faces....
Pelargonium
And because I did not have my 400mm lens with me the Swee Waxbills followed me all afternoon and posed beautifully.....

The last one is not only a smiling face, it is also putting it's tongue out
