I usually stick with California native plants for ornamentals in our yard, but I saw this South African plant in the catalog and couldn't resist getting one--I always love the dark 'brown' or 'black' flowers. I noticed yesterday that it was blooming!
Each flower only blooms for one day and they're supposed to smell like vanilla custard. I haven't gone plant huffing yet--I will report back on the scent.
