Boophone disticha

It is an evergreen plant that is easily recognizable by its fan-like appearance that comes out of an ovoid bulb, partially exposed out of the ground. The bluish-green foliage is arranged in two opposing rows, similar to an open fan. The leaves are up to 50 cm long and about 3-4 cm wide. Before the growth of the new leaves, numerous pink or red flowers bloom, grouped in a spherical umbrella. Synonym: Amaryllis disticha.
