Albuca setosa sun or part sun The flowers and the scentComing from the Cape of South Africa, this wee plant is tough, growing in inhospitable areas like rocky ground and exposed slopes. Three narrow outer petals (tepals), fleshy with a bit of diamond dust, are held horizontally, and the inner three are pursed (meet at the tips) yellow lips. All petals are interestingly striped white and green! Anise fragrance! Minimum temperature: 5 F
