Fibrous slime lily (Albuca setosa)

Fibrous slime lily

Fibrous slime lily is a fascinating bulbous plant featuring slender, upward-reaching leaves and a striking flower stalk adorned with dense racemes of bell-shaped, cream to yellow-green flowers. Its distinct hairy fringes along the flower margins give it a 'setose' or bristly appearance, harmonizing with its dry native habitats where such adaptations may aid in moisture retention and pollinator attraction.
