November and December mark the beginning of summer in the Cape. The succulent vygies (Lampranthus) take the spring colour into summer. They are very striking with colours varying from icy pink to bright orange. |

| Among the bulbous plants many of the African lilies (Agapanthus) start to flower. Spikes of blue Aristea major and yellow Wachendorfia thyrsiflora stand tall in the wetter areas. | ||||||||||||||
| Some of the special trees in flower are the Cape chestnut (Calodendron capense) and the pom - pom tree (Dais cotinifolia) which both get covered in pink flowers. | ||||||||||||||
