Linaria Oblongifolia

Linaria oblongifolia is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant native to the arid regions of southern Africa. Known for its vibrant, spurred petals and delicate appearance, it is often referred to as the "dwarf toadflax." This species thrives in rocky soils and full sun, making it a hardy choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. Its unique floral structure resembles that of a toad's mouth, giving it its common name. Despite its small size, Linaria oblongifolia holds cultural and ecological significance in its native habitat.
