Darling Wildflower Society Promoting the conservation of flowers of the threatened lowland Sandplain & Renosterveld Fynbos in The West Coast flower region

FLOWER LINE: 068 151 5692
Darling is known as the flower of the West Coast, and the abundance of flora and natural flowers is undoubtedly its biggest asset. The Darling Wildflower Society has held a show virtually every year since that first show in 1917. The ideals expressed by the founders still hold true today. They wanted to display Darling's God-given wealth for the world to see. At the same

time they promoted the conservation of flowers amongst the farmers of the district, who have since maintained the botanical diversity of the region over several generations. The West Coast flower region, an integral part of the Cape Fynbos Kingdom, boasts more than 1200 species of flowering plants. About 80 of these are endemic to the West Coast and known nowhere else. The rich flora of the West Coast occurs on mainly three different soil types, culminating in three distinctive vegetation types, namely, Strandveld, Renosterveld and Sandveld. Darling lies within the Cape West Coast Biosphere reserve in the centre of the threatened lowland sandplain and renosterveld fynbos.
