Gladiolus carmineus spotted

A pinkish red, by name carmine Gladiolus carmineus flower looks lonely among the coastal scrub overlooking the waves and rocks at Hermanus. How big needs the sighting be that brightens your day?

This is one of the enticements of strolling along the local cliff paths in late summer or autumn. Health from a conducive lifestyle is another enticement, working all year round, weather permitting.
