 Time once again to witness one of the major miracles in the world - when nature flaunts her beauty with the spectacular wild flower display along the west coast of south Africa.
It's hard to believe unless you've witnessed it yourself - but be careful - once bitten, you may just join the ranks of the flower junkies who make the annual pilgrimage to see this incredible variety of colours, flowers and species.
Clanwilliam is the major town of the district and plays host to the annual Flower Show. Volunteers happily create a man-made landscape inside the church; a kaleidoscope from nature made accessible to everybody.
About 360 species are exhibited by the Clanwilliam Wildflower Society, which is a fitting complement to the dignified architecture of the church. The pulpit has been quiet for many years, but the flowers offer a song of praise heavenwards. This flower fête includes concerts, art and food stalls, and a street carnival. A special botanical division displays all the flowers on show with their botanical, as well as their common names. It is alleged that the greatest variety of wild flowers in one district in the world happen to make their appearance in the area around Clanwilliam.
