Agathosma ovata stem-tip buds

This stem-tip cluster of these Agathosma ovata flower buds seen in the Langkloof are going to spread their white petals in a few days.The narrowly pointed sepals are losing control over the bulging petals they held firmly still, so recently.

The convex leaves are covered in sparsely covered hairs as are the straight, pinkish pedicels and the yellowish, pointed sepals. The short-petioled leaves taper to points that are hidden due to the curvature of the leaves that narrow to their tips.
