Fynbos and the Cape Floral Kingdom
What fynbos is, why it only grows here and where to see proteas, ericas and restios on a day out.
The smallest plant kingdom
The Cape Floral Region is one of six plant kingdoms on earth and by far the smallest. Most of its thousands of species grow nowhere else.
Where to see it
Kirstenbosch for the gardens, the slopes of Table Mountain for wild fynbos, and the Cape Point reserve for big open views of it.
