Native to the Western Cape region of South Africa, this Lily is so called as it is supposed to flower in March, but it always seems to flower in February!

  You were doing the right thing, Claire. The issue in this case is that Wikipedia uses a single for both the genus and the specific species, and they redirect to each other. This confuses JungleDragon. I've created it manually now, great shot! Posted 11 years ago
