Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Absolutely gorgeous is the only way I can describe this South African Oxalis. From the onset of Autumn rain, until mid Spring, an endless procession of 1cm, yellow centred, soft orange, five petalled, funnel shaped flowers, clothe the feathery foliaged, mat forming stems. Plant with any number of small bulbs for show stopping effect. Makes an excellent pot subject.
