Thanks for sharing this most welcome news lion queen.
20mm
Wow.
With more cold fronts heading towards the Western Cape let's hope for more rain in Namaqua to give those flowers what they dearly need for an awesome show this year.
We can't wait for August.

That is good to hear LQ and here's hoping it will be a good flower season this year
