Zalusianskya ovata (close-up) - 2013

Is it some kind of succulent Andrew, most attractive flower.

DD - no, it's a short-lived perennial from South Africa. Life span about four or five yeas I think - I suddenly notice I haven't got it any more and have to get another. No more than a foot tall by two feet across. Needs sharp drainage but not dry soil, plus full sun. I like the contrast of the white flowers with red on the back

I love this plant...I grew it from seed last year but it didnt flower, kept it the greenhouse durng Winter and i noticed today it has buds on....:>)

Love this perennial , it s smell is just HumMmm . Love it
