Eucomis montana (live bulb)
Family: Hyacinthaceae
Common names: Montane pineapple flower.
The montane pineapple flower has a large egg-shaped bulb of about 80 mm in diameter. It has semi-erect leaves, that can grow up to 500 mm long and 120 mm wide. They have wavy margins and can either have purple spots or patches, more especially near the base or on the underside. The flower stalk stands between 300–400 mm high, with densely packed flowers and crowned by a tuft of leaf-like bracts. The leaf-like bracts can have maroon edging, depending on where it is growing.
