@ Micetta..yes all these beautiful flowers are in West Coast National Park. Most of them are in the Postberg area but not all. I still have a few more to post.

This is a " vygie " of sorts but as to which one I am not sure so in the meantime I will call it a "pink vygie"

EDIT: Possibly a Dorotheanthus bellidifornis
Livingstone Daisy.
Flowers can be red,yellow,pink or white with a dark centre.

Seen at Uitkyk in Postberg

Caracals post.....

The first two yellow ones must be of the orchids family. Anyway they are beautiful flowers all of them. What a lot of different families (worse than birds if possible :roll:

)

Thank you Caracal!
