Namaqualand: Garden of the Gods (Travel writing) by Freeman Patterson (1994-02-24) Hardcover – January 1, 1623

Namaqualand is one of my favorite places on earth when it blooms. This book shows Namaqualand at it's best. It gives a little taste of what this area looks like when in flower. The pictures are stunning and spectacular. If you love the flowers of South Africa this book is a must. I hope to see this area in person some day. Until then I can look at this book and dream. Another good book on this area is "Namaqualand: A Succulent Desert" by Richard Cowling and Shirley Pierce, with Photograpy by Colin Paterson-Jones. Both volumes are wonderful.

every year in Spring Namaqualand burst with thousands of flowers. The book describes vividly this miracle of nature. However the book is old and the pictures in really bad condition by now. Very much better, in fact the best book about the subject is 'Namaqualand, a succulent desert' by Richard Cowling. Non need to look furthermore. That is the very best with amazing pictures and lots of details.
