Eucomis schijffii similar at top and bottom

Purple-rimmed green coma bracts on top and similarly purple-rimmed green leaves at the base delimit this Eucomis schijffii plant’s above-ground parts. The tips of the bracts curve down slightly, while the leaves angle up somewhat, eschewing the ground, at this stage in this plant. E. schijffii leaves may also lie flat on the ground.

Between the given limits there is a busy purple cylinder, densely covered in small flowers. That is, apart from the stem part visible above the leaves. The stem also has options in this species: uniformly purple or spotted, as well as exposed or totally flowered down to the leaves. Art and style reside everywhere in nature.
