Watsonia borbonica subsp. borbonica making the most of its conditions

Summer stress does not easily throw Watsonia borbonica subsp. borbonica in habitat. Where the seed germinates, there the plant grows! No overtures for repatriation to “easier” surroundings.

Dependent upon a nourishment providing corm when flowering commitments have to be complied with during the warmer, drier months, these plants appear unconcerned and colourful in the absence of rain.

Summer? Life rocks in the hills!
