Title: Babiana rubrocyanea
Post by: Colin Davis on April 24, 2022, 06:42:17 PM
Blooming now is Babiana rubrocyanea, or Baboon Flower (probably the only species I grow that I actually know the common name lol). I don't feel this species receives enough attention - its easy, reliable and has stunning saturation. If you don't grow it, you should!

Etsy has replica baboon skulls. 

Also badger, mink, coyote, and camel skulls. If there are matching flowers for each, you could have an entire themed section of your garden!
