Brunsvigia bosmaniae ring of open flowers

Precision that the military would approve of! The first or lowest row of Brunsvigia bosmaniae flowers fire in unison here to start proceedings.

The umbel may be spherical, hemispherical or something inbetween, reaching from 20 cm to 30 cm in diameter. The flowers in one umbel number from 25 to 70, depending on the size and resources of the bulb.

The pedicels of the flowers elongate during the fruiting stage (Duncan, et al, 2016; Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
