This Aristea capitata plant flowering in Bainskloof fynbos has formed a clump that managed several October flowering stems. Nothing around resembles the blue flowers, adding clarity of message to the usual pollinators: hurry!
This plant favours moist patches; moisture being more available in winter in these parts (Manning, 2007; www.plantzafrica.com).
