A new find - Romulea ramiflora | Vote for a witness!
I have never saw it before in any of the locations before and I did go to this place many times. Now as I was walking around I saw this one tine purple flower growing almost directly from the sand.
Then another... and another.. and it was like there were always there I just didn't see them.
Romulea ramiflora
Leaves are long and thin like grass laying down on the soil. Not many of them on each plant and they look pretty messy. Underground they hide little bulb that will store all the nutrients needed to survive the though the hot summer and still have enough energy to grow next year.
The place where I found them had some wildfires few years back. But all those bulbous plants survived even though everything above the ground got burned to a crisp. Good to see them all pop like if nothing happened.
In a few weeks they will stop blooming and I will not see them until next year. But now I know I have to go early in the year to find them. I have to say that they are very beautiful little things.
