Brunsvigia striata, commonly known as the Maartblom or Kleinmaartblom and known by its synonym Brunsvigia minor, is a small, deciduous bulbous plant endemic to South Africa, specifically the Western and Eastern Cape.[1] It produces vibrant, fragrant, pink to deep-rose striped flowers in a spherical, umbrella-like cluster from March to April. The species thrives in sandy, rocky terrain and is commonly cultivated as a pot plant for dry, sunny climates.[2]
