Bowiea gariepensis

Rare and recently re-discovered oddity from NW South Africa. Soft, blue-green leafless vine and delicate white flowers. Keep dry when the vine dies back in summer. Floriferous and choice. Recommended.

7.Winter grower. Needs water in winter, not summer.

Larger prettier flowers than B.volubilis.

Larger bulb also. This one is dormant (in summer) with just a few dried straws of last winter's vines left attached.
