If your
visit is within a few days of summer shower you'll find hardy desert
plants in bloom, and you'll wonder as to how these can survive
dormant for most of the year and then suddenly and briefly come into
full flower..
Flowering plants developed during the
Cretaceous
Period and the Brukkaros Crater has provided us with the oldest angiospermous flower fossil ever found in Namibia, having 5
petals and a diameter of 12mm.
