About Sparaxis tricolor (Schneev.) Ker Gawl.
Sparaxis tricolor, commonly called wandflower, harlequin flower, or simply sparaxis, is a bulb-forming perennial plant that grows in well-drained, sunny soil. It gets its name from its colorful flowers, which are either bi-colored or tri-colored, with a golden center, a small brown ring, and an outer layer of another color. This plant is native to the northern Bokkeveld Escarpment, located in the west-central Cape Provinces of South Africa. It has been introduced to California and Australia, where it now grows after escaping from garden cultivation.
