Green shoots appear through the barren landscape.Geophytes – possibly watsonias, fire lilies and bobartia recover after the fire.The candalabra lily (Brunsvigia orientalis) in bloom.
Yes! Can’t help but feel jubilant! Out of the ashes …. and for some of the species fire stimulates the growing process. The red fire lilies are usually the first to appear – so fitting that their colour is red-hot 🙂
This perfectly illustrates that nature can perfectly take care of itself if we’d just leave it alone! I guess that the plants you name are also adapted to regenerate after fires?
Nature on the Edge 
What an encouraging sight!
Oh yes! If we get winter rain spring should be full of promise.
Beautiful images from the devastation.
Isn’t the whole process of nature’s restorative powers awesome 🙂
Such impressive resilience.
Awesome!
Resilient renewal – nature endures!
True! Interesting seeing the pioneer plants springing back.
Extraordinary. Nature fights back.
It’s going to be interesting monitoring the process through winter. Come spring the vegetation could be blooming.
Nature bouncing back!
Good description, Dries! The pioneer plants coming through strong and healthy.
Nature persists in such beautiful ways. we should all be inspired to bounce back from challenges with so much grace.
Beautiful insightfulness Jane; drawing inspiration from nature with grace.
Little miracle survivors, hooray!

Yes that is correct – many of the fynbos species need fire to regenerate and for seeds to germinate.
