I have devoted several posts lately to the beautiful display of indigenous yellow flowers that have brightened the veld this spring. These are gradually losing their lustre and are being replaced by a variety of cream, creamy-white or white flowers. This is what the open veld on the edge of town looked like on my walk on Friday morning.
Here is a closer view of these splashes of white.
A different variety of creamy flowers form much thicker clumps further along the road.
A closer view of them reveals some unexpected colour.
Then there are some trees that stand out thanks to their creamy flowers bobbing in the wind.
These too look beautiful from close-up.
Something Over Tea 
Wonderful to see the succession of blooms and the touch of color in the flowers.

I am glad you have enjoyed seeing these, Laurie. I am also happy to tell you that it is raining very lightly here – which is wonderful for this part of the country!

Dis so waar. Gewoonlik fokus ons almal op die helder geel in die veld, en tog komplimenteer die wit/room blommetjies ook die groen veld. Dis mooi.

Dankie. Daar is ‘n groot verskeidenheid van wit / room blomme in die veld wat so pragtig teen die vars groen van die gras lyk.

The area shown in the first photograph is a paddock where we most often see cattle, but occasionally also spot lechwe or impala – all within five minutes of home 🙂

It is a good to have a variety of ground cover. We just have heather and then it is gone.

I think I am taking more notice of the wild flowers this season as it is the best ‘show’ we have had for some years – thanks to some early spring rain.

I’ve noticed here in the UK, and it seems to be the same where you are, that spring is yellow. Here in the UK, many spring flowers are yellow, and like you, as summer approaches, we get white ones.
Isn’t that odd? Two countries so far apart with similar flower colours according to season.
