slime lily

Bulbous plants are not particularly common along the coast, but the bright scarlet-flowered Rat's-Tail Babiana (Babiana ringens) is always seen in this sandy bush country which also abounds with blue- and white-flowered Hottentot Nut (Moraea fugax), and the strange-looking slime lilies, of which the Sandveld Slime Lily (Albuca fragrans) and Common Slime Lily (A . flaccida) are most common.
