Eliokarmos sp ? Bo-wadrift Tanqua Karoo


Growing close to Austronea from previous post. Also discovered 2013. I may have a few seedlings in the mass of pots I have. I have only three plants adult plants but they flowered this year and have quite a bit of seed. Climbed the mountain slope again last year but there was nothing to be seen due to the extreme drought


I should have a better image of the flower somewhere. Still have to sort out recent pics.
