VIVACIOUS FREESIAS...
Pure elegance and fragrance these beauties.
A branch of Freesia, aah, I see them, I smell them... my resistance is low... I confess... LOL
Freesia is a genus of 14-16 species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to Africa.
Of the 14 species, 12 are native to Cape Province, South Africa, the remaining two to tropical Africa, one species extending north of the equator to Sudan.
The genus was named in honour of Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese (1795-1876), German physician.
They are herbaceous plants which grow from a corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers.
