Wild Pimpernel (Wormskioldia longepedunculata): The flowers form at the ends of finely haired stalks that have long, very narrow leaves. In their season – the beginning of the rains – the blooms may be seen dotted about singly over the veld. The brilliant deep orange petals have pale undersides. The little trumpets face upwards towards the sun.
