This is one of my spring flowers that grow in my garden. It is an Albuca species and indigenous to South Africa. The Albuca belongs to the genus of the Amyrillidaceae. The flower stalks are about 60 to 80 cm long. this ist just one of about a few dozen species that occour in South Africa. They range from about 6 cm to about 1m in size. The flowers are mainly white, but there is also a yellow species that flowers from November to December. It developes a woody capsule after fertilisation. I have not yet discovered which insect polinates the plant. I think it must be polinated by moths during night time, because I could not observe any polinators during day time. The plant is very hardy to drought and occurs mainly in dry grasslands. In cultivation when watered, it can also tolerate some encroachment from trees, but it prefers well-drained organic compost. The leaves exude a sticky sap when broken and could be used as an adhesive. The plant is not used commercially.
