Strange Flowers in Wynberg Park

I’ve no idea what these flowers are called. I’m sorry about the blurred pictures, that’s not artistic intent, but if I had a better camera it would be bigger than my mobile and I just wouldn’t carry it with me.

You're so fortunate to have such vibrant and beautiful flowere in your part of the world. Some that we pay dear for here grow like weeds over there. No doubt someone will ID them for you.
