A sea of flowers can be seen in spring at Namaqualand, in the amazing region of Namibia (South Africa). Namaqualand stretches for 600 miles along the west coast and has a total area of 170,000 square meters. miles.
In summer, due to prolonged droughts, this blooming land turns into a real desert, but with the arrival of spring, nature is transformed! As soon as the rains saturate the hot earth, a miracle happens - millions of flowers appear, like a multi-colored carpet! In South Africa, this phenomenon is called the "violet" season. Most often, Namaqualand is covered in orange and white flowers, but other varieties can be found.
Flower seeds can lie for months in depleted dry ground waiting for fertile moisture, so the flowering period depends on when the rains begin. Approximately 4,000 plant species bloom in this area and a quarter of them cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. It is best to observe this natural phenomenon in the autumn months - from August to October, so tourists from all over the world come here.]
