A South African Afrikaans term for the sugarbush, a common name for Protea species — flowering shrubs native to South Africa and prized for their distinctive blooms. The sugarbush is South Africa's national flower (Protea cynaroides) and the suikerbos is an important part of South African floral heritage.
The suikerbos along the mountain path were in full bloom, their pink flower-heads catching the morning light.
