Roseling

Description:

Clumps usually dense and tussock-like, about 30cm or more high. Leaves very narrow, 12-20cm long, stiffly arching. Triangular, light-pink flowers have attractive gold stamens that rest just above the thin, strappy, mid-green foliage. One of the most distinct species, having only tiny floral bracts.

Habitat:

Thin woodland, scrub and open habitats where the soil is sandy. This wild plant was photographed at the Aiken Gopher Tortoise Heritage Preserve.

Notes:

It's also called Morning Grace.
