Gethyllis oliverorum has cool grey-green spiralled leaves and white, fragrant flowers.

Description:
Gethyllis is a southern African genus from the Amaryllis family with unusual, often spirally twisted foliage held in sheaths and lovely flowers and fruits. In order to avoid the stress of their dry environments they flower in midsummer, fruit in autumn, and grow foliage in winter. G. oliverorum has cool grey-green spiralled leaves similar to G. oligophylla rising from a brown basal sheath. The showy white flowers, produced one per bulb, have six tepals around bright yellow anthers and are strongly and sweetly fragrant. The yellow to orange berry-like, finger-length fruits are fragrant when ripe. Grow in a deep container in sharply draining mix. When plants are dormant move to a cool, dry place and do not water.
