Candelabra lily is a striking bulbous plant native to Southern Africa, known for its large, spherical flower heads.

The plant's robust bulb and seasonal leaf production are adaptations to its dry, summer-dormant habitat, enabling survival through tough climates.
Surfers candelabra is a coastal bulbous plant with a robust, amaryllis-like appearance. It flourishes in sandy habitats, usually near the sea where its striking pink to red flowers can withstand saline conditions. These blossoms, clustered atop a leafless stalk, emerge before the broad, ground-hugging leaves, forming a dramatic display. Its ability to store water and nutrients allows it to thrive in this challenging environment.
Brunsvigia radulosa is a striking, bulbous perennial recognized by its robust, strap-shaped leaves which emerge in a distinctive rosette. Its impressive umbrella-like flower heads burst with vivid pink colors on a tall stalk, emerging before the foliage in late summer to autumn. The plant thrives in arid conditions, with its deep bulb helping it endure dry spells. The unique floral display and drought resistance make brunsvigia radulosa a notable presence in the native South African landscapes where it is found.
Brunsvigia gregaria is a striking bulbous plant that bursts into vibrant pink or red flower clusters on tall stems, a show against the arid landscapes it calls home.

Adapted to dry conditions, brunsvigia gregaria conserves water, awaiting rain to prompt its dramatic display.
