Prized for their rich fragrance

Fragrant Freesia

Fressia is another corm that is originally native to South Africa.
It's great how the Spring rains bring out the Fressia.
I have a patch along the pond and another underneath the tea tree.
One is in sun and the other in shade, and both spots do equally well.

The flowers are tubular, 2 inches long with one sided spikes.
They look great in arrangements and scent the room with their
fragrance.

They certainly don't last long in the garden. They bloom for a week.
But they are always a pleasant surprise when they make their appearance.
