Summary description from Wikipedia:
Sparaxis tricolor
Sparaxis tricolor, known by the common names wandflower, harlequin flower, and sparaxis, is a bulb-forming perennial plant that grows in well-drained sunny soil. It gained its name from its colorful flowers which are bi- or tri-coloured with a golden centre and a small ring of brown surrounded by another colour.
The plant is native to the northern Bokkeveld Escarpment in the west-central Cape Provinces of South Africa. It is present in California and Australia as an introduced species after having escaped from garden cultivation.
