A winter growing member of the Asphodelaceae family, described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1825, found on the western coast of South Africa. Growing in grit or well-drained soil with little water and some sun. This is the first flower I have seen or found on the web. 

The flower stalks seems to be able to make off-sets as well.

The genera name means 'bulbous'. The species name means 'look like Mesembryanthemum'.

This is a winter-grower.


Found this at Grootscholten. It will only grow this single leaf.
