Orange-stemmed bulb flowers

Bulbine frutescens is a flowering plant of the reed family Asphodelaceae bulbae, native to southern Africa.

This variable species grows in the form of small shrubs with short, low stems that produce roots, slender, erect, fleshy, gray-green leaves towards the ground.

The flowers appear throughout the summer, on 30 cm erect inflorescences. Flowers can be orange, yellow, or white. Like all bulb species, stamens are distinctive tufts ("whiskers").

Bulbs mostly lie dormant in summer, bloom in spring, and then bloom again in autumn, albeit in smaller numbers. It can be easily propagated by stem cuttings. Cuttings can be planted immediately and kept in the shade. They do not require any special attention or treatment and establish a solid foundation within a few months.

Bulbine, from the Greek word bolbine, is a general term for bulb plants, but especially Ornithogalum. The name is misleading because the plant does not have a bulb base.
