الوصف:

Description: English: Orphium frutescens is a coastal fynbos plant growing along the coast of the south western Cape of South Africa. Its flowers are a cheerful, glossy pink with golden stamens, avidly visited by pollinators. It is a short-lived perennial that self-seeds even on unpromising soil, though it really does best on dune sands. Date: 26 December 2009. Source: Own work. Author: JonRichfield.
