Babiana dregei

Babiana dregei flaunts velvety, funnel-shaped flowers in striking shades of violet and blue, a signature appeal among the South African flora where it thrives. Its sword-like leaves emerge in a fan pattern, adapted to capture scarce moisture from its arid native habitat. This cormous perennial showcases a hardy resilience, nestling into sandy soils, and bursting into bloom after winter rains.
