    Hermannia lavandulifolia new leaves, old flowers

    Hermannia lavandulifolia new leaves, old flowers
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The Hermannia lavandulifolia leaves in picture are in better shape than the dangling, dead flowers.

    There are long, thread-like, floral bracts resembling reduced leaves curving below each flower. They are now turning yellow as their flowers no longer need them (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
