Bourke’s Luck Potholes
Bourke’s Luck Potholes have been created by the meeting of the Treur (river of sorrow) and Blyde (river of joy) rivers.
Smooth red and yellow layers in the rocks, contrast with the dark pools below which have taken thousands of years of swirling, raging water to form strange cylindrical sculptures…..one of the most phenomenal geological phenomenon in South Africa.
Although he found none, the site is name after a local prospector who predicted the presence of gold.

This terrapin shell also appears to have been created layer by layer.

The best part of plantings bulbs is that they can surprise you by popping up unexpectedly as these did. My first reaction was to cut them out as weeds. Fortunately I am not known for acting quickly, which was to the benefit of these plants.
My favourite.
