Plant of the Day Thursday 21 June 2018

In the alpine house of Cambridge Botanic Gardens, UK, a pot full of Arthropodium cirratum (New Zealand fringed lily, Rienga lily, rock lily) was flowering. This evergreen perennial forms a clump of glossy, narrow leaves, with grey-green on the lower surface and sprays of small, starry white flowers. It grows in fertile well-drained growing media in full sun.
