Today’s pics are a few of the South African flower bulbs I’ve grown and been lucky enough to have bloom (mostly in our cool/cold greenhouse) over the last 20 years. These aren’t huge flowers; today’s are mostly about 2 or 3 inches across when fully open (5-8 cm) but are impressive in their fine patterns of pollinator guidelines.
I haven’t yet visited South Africa (or anywhere in Africa), but I still have it on my bucket list! As a birder and wildlife watcher it is one of the top destinations, but as a gardener and lover of rock garden and succulent plants it is the pinnacle of plant diversity.
