Crane Flowers bloom on the edge of a wine yard in Stellenbosch, South Africa. This version is called Mandela's Gold, or Madiba's Gold, as it was crossbred to produce gold petals in celebration of the political leader. The flowers resemble the head of a Crane Bird. This road leads to the Delaire Graff Estate and vineyard.
