03/09/19 - Morning ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ - found this little gem yesterday evening amongst a planted up border outside one of the restaurants here. Itโ€™s not a native, so likely planted by the hotel gardeners, but Iโ€™m almost certain itโ€™s 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 Iโ€™m sure it would like wonderful as a large clump with the flower stems swaying in the breeze ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿงก

Morning Jane ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ - and weirdly the name is misleading as itโ€™s not a bulb either ๐Ÿ˜ฒ @pelly

Oh yes ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ, I did see your one and thought it was very similar, then noticed the encyclopaedia had a cultivar name attached to it called โ€˜Tiny Tangerineโ€™ - Iโ€™ve no idea if that could be the same as this one in Greece as the straight species is quite similar - or if itโ€™s 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
