03/09/19 - Morning ๐๐ผ - found this little gem yesterday evening amongst a planted up border outside one of the restaurants here. Itโs not a native, so likely planted by the hotel gardeners, but Iโm almost certain itโs called Bulbine frutescens - quite low growing, and has thin grass like succulent leaves so makes it ideal for warmer climates. Not much of it which is a shame as Iโm sure it would like wonderful as a large clump with the flower stems swaying in the breeze ๐๐๐งก
Oh yes ๐๐๐ผ, I did see your one and thought it was very similar, then noticed the encyclopaedia had a cultivar name attached to it called โTiny Tangerineโ - Iโve no idea if that could be the same as this one in Greece as the straight species is quite similar - or if itโs the straight species so I decided to use the latter one. Is yours a specific named variety then? Also, what is more popular common name for this - Orange Stalked Bulbine or Burn Jelly Plant? I could maybe edit this @cyndi

Open to suggestions if itโs not Bulbine! ๐๐๐ผ #holidayfind #greece ๐ฌ๐ท #notmygarden #bulbine #bulbine-frutescens #bulbinefrutescens
Morning Rich, it certainly has pretty little flowers ๐๐
Morning Jane ๐๐ผ - and weirdly the name is misleading as itโs not a bulb either ๐ฒ @pelly
Itโs amazing what you can find. It is pretty Rich๐ค
Iโm going to try finding some of this at home Enid, looks great and might do well in a sunny pot ๐ @godfreye
