It burned fast through the fynbos but as everything is built of cement, nothing else caught fire near my house. Now there are pink and white lillies growing in the ash. Rumour has it they only bloom after a fire.

Fire on Devil's Peak
2am on 18 March - I got home from cutting rocks in the Stellenbosch geology department to find my neighborhood being evacuated.
It burned fast through the fynbos but as everything is built of cement, nothing else caught fire near my house. Now there are pink and white lillies growing in the ash. Rumour has it they only bloom after a fire.
