Hi Mol-d , The pink is a Podalyria, cream balls— Brunia sp or Berzelia abrotanoides, purple — Muraltia. The Cape flowers are so beautiful
Pink (sweet pea bush) with grey leaves is Podalyria calyptrata. http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantnop/podalyrcalp.htm
Yellow strawflowers – sewejaartjie.
Muraltia, yes, tiny and prickly.
thanks jenny and ee!
