Fynbosgebed: A Poetic Tribute to Fynbos at Grootbos Florilegium

We recently had a visitor at the Grootbos Florilegium Gallery who was deeply inspired by our beautiful botanical art, the fascinating stories of ecology and pollinators, and the important role of fire in helping plants grow back strong.

Moved by this experience, he wrote a poem titled 'Fynbosgebed' (a prayer to fynbos).

A heartfelt thank you to Willem van der Colff for sharing this wonderful poem with us! Come visit the gallery to see the art that sparked this beautiful expression.
