September Bush revisited

By on September 9, 2009 in flowers, indigenous

Mol-d, you beat me to the draw – I had just taken some photographs of the September Bush flowering in my garden.  I wonder if its called the September Bush because it flowers in September?  Anyway, it is a great plant to have in your garden and the bumble-bees seem to love the flowers.

    so one month gets lost in translation – that’s funny. the leaves look to me like protea leaves, don’t you think?

    I guess they do a bit – it may be a fynbos plant. Any botanists out there?

    This plant doesn’t seem to take kindly to being replanted… our loving gardener uprooted one that was doing swimmingly to move it a few feet in the flower bed. September bush became dead bush…

    It is a fynbos bush (Polygala myrtifolia) an is plentiful in the Valley thicket of the East Cape. Will transplant if the plants are small and the roots are not broken
