The Western Cape’s spring flowers are a blooming hit on Instagram

Happy unofficial spring, South Africa. The season only scientifically begins on 23 September, when the length of day and night are more or less equal. But that hasn’t stopped Instagram from proving that you can already enjoy the colourful season’s splendour right now.

This past weekend, the social network was awash with bright colours and petals from the West Coast of the Western Cape. It’s South Africa’s flower region, and known for its popping flora between August and September annually.

Of course, it’s extremely difficult to say no to snapping a picture of the scene and uploading it to the internet. But that’s a good thing.

If you’re perhaps not from South Africa, or on the other side of the country, enjoy what Instagram, and springtime in the West Coast, has to offer below.

ケープタウン市内から車で約1時間。ウエストコーストナショナルパークのワイルドフラワーです。 毎年咲く時期は異なりますが、満開の時期は大体8月下旬から9月上旬までの数週間の間のみ。 ただし、野生のものなので、前年の雨量や天候、気温によっても時期が変わります。 Wildflower of West Coast National Park. #Wildflower #westcoastnationalpark #capetown #southafrica #capetownlife #beautifulcapetown #南アフリカ #ワイルドフラワー #ガイドブックに無い情報 #ローカル情報 #ケープタウン #ウエストコーストナショナルパーク #ケープタウン生活 #海外生活 #南アフリカ共和国 #海外生活 #海外留学 #英語初心者 #語学留学
