Most of the time this beautiful and distinctive species is not easy to find, not only because it is rather uncommon, but also because it prefers to grow in the shelter of shrubs. It branches only reluctantly and may reach a height of 30 cm.
The attractive flowers appear from November to June.
The main distribution area is from Sutherland to Ceres and Laingsburg. A locality near Bonnievale and one near Prince Albert are also mentioned in literature.
The last picture shows a plant in cultivation.
That is amazingly interesting, the photos are superb. I am always trying to learn more about the natural world around me so I really appreciate your posts.
It’s a bit of a battle each time to find a good combination of pictures and words. Therefore I’m glad you appreciate the effort. Thanks Charlie!
