Dierama igneum

About

Dierama igneum, the fiery wandflower, is a species of flowering plant in the iris family Iridaceae, native to the southeastern Cape Provinces and southern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It is a slow-growing, bulbous perennial growing to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall from clumps of grass-like leaves. Evergreen in its native Africa, it may become herbaceous in colder regions. The trumpet shaped flowers are borne on long, arching stems, and are normally salmon pink in colour. The specific epithet igneum, meaning "glowing" or "fiery", may refer to these arching sprays of blooms.
