A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King.
~Emily Dickinson
Babiana sambucina – the Baboon flower
Baboons love to eat the corms.
Mesembryanthemum (meaning “midday flowering”) or Icicle plant
a mixed display of Spring flowers in Namaqualand
Gold Spurge or Geel melkbos (Euphorbia mauritanica)
The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the sun’s kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.
~Julian Grenfell
