Every year after the winter rains, the wildflower of Namaqualand start blooming that herald the start of spring. A kaleidoscopic range of colour erupts along South Africa’s West Coast. The flowers carpet the fields like tie-dyed snows and attract visitors from all over the country in search of this beautiful sight akin to the tulips of Netherlands and the cherry blossoms of Japan. If you time it right, it’s truly breathtaking.

Here are 27 Instagram photos of this seasonal botanical extravaganza…
