| Details of the composite inflorescence of the Purple Sea Pink (Limonuim scabrum). Sunset Beach House. September 2000. | |||||||||
| Limonuim carries flowers year round but peaks in summer (October to May). Theses flowers dry out beautifully and keep their colors (blue, purple, white and pink) for months. They are popular with flower vendors both freshly cut and dried. The plant also has a large flat green leaves which is unusual for fynbos, they are however predictably rough to the touch . | |||||||||
| Fynbos plants are readily recognized by the sclerophyllous (hard, tough and leathery leaved) and microphyllous (small leaved) nature of almost all woody plants. Although the statis flower and plants look 'soft' they are indeed hard, though and leathery. They have to be to survive on the dunes in the Cape of Storms! |
