Dietes iridioides
Iridioid diets, commonly known as African lily or forest lily, is a perennial plant native to South Africa. It is a member of the Iridaceae family and is cultivated as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world due to its beautiful flowers and ease of care.
The African lily grows in the form of a rosette and can reach a height of up to one meter. The leaves are long and narrow, dark green and have a texture similar to that of leather. The flowers, which appear in the spring and summer, are a pure white color with yellow and orange spots at the base of the petals. Each flower lasts only one day, but the plant produces several flowers throughout its flowering season.
In addition to its beauty and ease of care, the African lily is a beneficial plant for wildlife. It attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and its seeds are a source of food for birds.
