Bulbinella alert! Look both under the tree next to the obelisk near the Granary and at the front edge of the bed inside the Granary gate on the left. You will find a cluster of succulent foliage that resembles a skinny leaved aloe. It has sent out blooming stems with small yellow flowers. These racemes will continue to elongate with new buds and will bloom until it becomes too cold for this South African grassland native. We think it's Bulbinella cauda-felis, which is hardy in zones 8 and 9. Ours spend the winter in the greenhouse. They grow like weeds in partly shaded areas and divide easily.
