Flower Chow-er: I have a lot to learn about macrophotography but had a fun few minutes yesterday with this tiny Spotted Blisterbeetle (Ceroctis capensis) as it munched on a Blue-Sequin (Geissorhiza aspera) flower in a small patch of fynbos near my house.

First flowers from my newly-planted fynbos garden. A wonderful reminder of home and the happy 'old days'. The smell of Agathosma and Osteospermum take me right back. This little posy even won me 2nd prize at my garden club. #gardening #fynbos #capeflora

Slanting Froetang (Romulea obscura) flowers photographed near my house today

They're only about an inch in diameter, but what they lack in size they make up for in colour!
