The city is covered in a shock of colour as spring flowers are in full bloom after months of heavy rain. Visitors to the Strandfontein Pavilion can enjoy a carpet of yellow, white and the occasional hint of purple. Pockets of arum lillies can also be seen among the sand dunes. Lensman BHEKI RADEBE captured these shots on Tuesday September 10.
