Heliophila juncea, profusion in white

This large stand of white Heliophila juncea flowers were seen in the Gifberg during October. The performance was delivered in recently burned veld, the time when abundant blooming of this plant may be expected.

The plant is a resprouter from its woody basal stem, giving it head start over reseeders after fire (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
