Gomphocarpus Longifolius

Gomphocarpus longifolius is a unique flowering plant native to southern Africa. It is known for its striking yellow flowers and distinctive seed pods that twist into spirals. This species thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, making it a resilient addition to dry landscapes. Its common name, "Cape Flax," reflects its fibrous leaves and ornamental value. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively unknown to many gardeners and botanists outside its native region.
