Sparaxis bulbifera
Sparaxis bulbifera, commonly known as harlequin flower, is a bulb-forming perennial plant. The species is native to Cape Province in South Africa and naturalised in the Azores and Australia.[1][2] It grows to between 15 and 60 cm high and has white to cream flowers.[2] This flower is often found growing next to Geissorhiza radians.[3] It has branched stems and lanceolate leaves. It is one of the few species native to sandy, waterlogged soils.[4] Sparaxis bulbifera is popular in ornamental gardening due to its attractive blooms and resilience. The plant's flowers are noted for their striking appearance and ability to thrive in a variety of soil conditions, making them a favorite among gardeners looking to add a touch of exotic beauty to their landscapes. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Sparaxis bulbifera plays a role in local ecosystems, providing nectar for various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. References
