Flowers on the Fynbos Trail

I recently had an outing along the Fynbos Trail near Schoenmakerskop with a friend while planting some geocaches and snapped this picture of a bush of flowers.  Not exactly sure what it was or if its even supposed to grow naturally on the Wildside.  I just thought it makes for a nice scene.

  2. It looks like a honeybush. The Khoi used to make a beer from it, not the tradition is kept alive in Kareedouw's annual Karrie Festival. It is also used to make honeybush tea, very nice but I still personally prefer Rooibos.
