Boophone disticha
This wonderful bulb belongs to the Amaryllis Family, and it has a big distribution in southern Africa and northward into tropical Africa. It is left alone by grazing animals because it is poisonous, and its juice is sometimes used for making poison arrows. Its flowers are small, but there are many of them, and they change color from white to pink to red as they age. This species is also very attractive when not in flower, on account of its fan of wavy bluish leaves.
