Our #PlantofTheWeek, Watsonia strubeniae, is a charming grassland geophyte endemic to Mpumalanga. Known for its tall spikes of pale pink autumn flowers, it thrives in sunny, well-drained soil, making it an ideal garden plant.
“Species are like a house of cards. You can’t just take one card out of the deck and not expect the deck to crumble.”
