There is a new site which has the news in photos. I'm quite excited about it! This photo is by Bill de Waal.
For the non-SAfricans, this is a protea (protea magnifica). What is remarkable about the fynbos is that in order for seeds to take root, they have to go through the fire of the dry season. Kindof cool, right? The problem is that the brush has to be just right to stop the fire from getting too hot-- if it's too hot then the proteas are killed. With changing weather patterns, a lot of proteas are dying as the fires are hotter.
