Those plants are one of major attractions around Swakopmund (because they grow only in few places in Namibia and Angola).
Can you believe it, some of those plants can be as old as 2000 years?!!!
anyway, what I wanted to say is that there is no need to take an excursion in Swakopmund. If you have a car and go in Brandenberg direction, you will definitely find plenty. Some of them, though, look very unattractive: springboks have eaten all the leaves, so what is left is just a wooden stub.
See the workshop for another picture of this mirabilis plant. |
