"Biden is the best choice and he's actually really empathetic and reasonable but also you can't wait for a candidate that won't do genocide and war crimes because to become a presidential candidate you have to be willing to do that" see what you fundamentally don't understand is I'm not waiting for a candidate that won't do war crimes, because I know that. I cannot morally stomach this system, it's a joke to claim its democratic, and AMERICA DELENDA EST. this country is a plague on this Earth

Kogelberg Nature Preserve - Located in the Kogelberg Mountains along the mountainous coast, this 3,000-hectare nature reserve is at the heart of Sandstone Fynbos species. Fynbos is a general term for the vegetation of this unique floral kingdom, Afrikaans for 'fine bush'. This includes Proteas, woody plants with large showy flowers, Ericas, heath-like thicket with delicate flowers, Restios, reed-like in structure photosynthesizing via stems, and Geophytes with bulbs. The Kogelberg is one of the great treasures of the plant kingdom, home to hundreds of species found nowhere else.

A Spectacular Erica

Erica shannonii making a rare appearance in the conservatory here. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

This was the first time we had seen the Erica here. It was apparently named in honour of the Countess of Shannon in the eighteenth century.

A stop of underexposure was used for this capture for the sake of the white flowers. This had effectively also darkened away other nearby foliage in the background.
