07 Spring - Linaria


This linaria is from South Africa and thrives in San Francisco.

It looks very much like grass that sudden blooms at its tips.

Its common name in English is toadflax, because some of the plants resemble flax.

Phil and I later found other linaria in bicolor shades of yellow and red, but this one remains one of our favorites.
