Lachenalia bulbifera

Lachenalia bulbifera, the rooinaeltjie (Afrikaans for red hyacinth), is found along the South African west coast, as well as the Western Cape south coast. It grows on sandy flats and slopes, often among rocks close to the sea.

The plant achieves heights of up to 30 cm when in flower, although smaller ones of 8 cm are more often seen. The fruits are three-angled, delivering spherical seeds (Manning, 2007).
