There in habitat, you can see species living with red sand. The area is more dry than that of Cape area. The plants shapes are adopted to survive in such extreme condition, to be very bizarre fascinating style for us. Such landscape looks so exotic and hard to find in our city-life. Nothing but cool. Here I offer you the SS02-b ‘ORANGE RIVER’ with greatest romance!
