Lachenalia bulbifera

L. pendula, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to the Western Cape of South Africa.

It is a bulbous perennial growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall by 5 cm (2 in) broad, with strap-shaped spotted leaves and fleshy stems bearing pendent tubular orange or red flowers 3 cm long, in winter and spring.

[1] The Latin bulbifera literally means "bulb-bearing",[2] and refers to the plant's habit of producing bulblets, which can be separated from the parent plant and grown on.

This plant requires a sheltered, frost-free position, or it can be grown under glass.

The species[3] and its pink-flowered cultivar 'George'[4] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
