You can see from the photo above our post-fire landscape is still looking rather bare, but there are some traces of green appearing despite no rain having fallen. However on closer inspection a number of plants had already re-sprouted and were in full flower. Below is a photo of the beautiful Kniphofia uvaria (red hot poker) that was photographed in full bloom just seven weeks after the fire.
Another species already flowering was Mairia coriacea (fire daisy), a species restricted to rocky sandstone slopes between Rooiels and Potberg that flowers profusely imediately following fire.
Hey! Great to see this site up-n-running! Will be referring to it in the future, for sure. Seems a great way to keep the fynbos story alive. Well done!
