Fynbos Flora

There have been two occasions to explore the fynbos around Plettenberg in the last few weeks.  The first was coastal fynbos and the second being at the Groot River Pass in the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park.

The fynbos is a world renown biome - the Cape Floristic Region - that comprises a stunning diversity of 9,000 species of flowering plants, two thirds of which are endemic. [more detail]
