Description

I have captured this image last summer at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens here in Johannesburg. I have no idea what it is called and I'm hoping Andrea would know! I just love the green and white flowers with the yellow naughty bits! Most unusual! Thank you for visiting and for your wonderful support in comments and favs! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

Hah! You had me searching my Field guide to Fynbos, Carin! Looked to me like one of the Chincherinchee family and so it is! Ornithogalum longibracteatum is the official name for the Pregnant Onion, False Sea Onion. Wonderful image, Clive

The yellow naughty bits? Well, I suppose that's one way to describe them. A stellar POV and focus employed to capture this arcane beauty, Carin! And I love those striated petals.
