Oh these grow everywhere here! I did not know they are a medicine. Scary, yes, beautiful, yes. It is things like this that makes our modern world so poor in terms of lost knowledge regarding natural medicine. If I am not mistaken this flower is native to the Cape region. So much of the fynbos plants have been used for centuries by the locals, but with deforestation and epistemicide (killing of local knowledge) all this knowledge is getting lost. It is really sad to see. Sorry for the long winded ramblings!
