Diascia vigilis
Twinspurs
 

 
 
Single flowers are arranged along an elongated, un-branched axis (raceme) produced on the terminal branches with masses of pale pink to salmon flowers. Individual flowers have a long, broad lower lip and four smaller bonnet-type petals with translucent interior markings referred to as windows. The dark yellow and maroon window is visible on the upper petals and is concave. The common name twinspurs refers to the two lateral corolla tube spurs which curve out, down and slightly forwards with a patch of dark sessile glands within.
Long flowering season
Tufted, branched stems are produced from the crown which spreads sideways, rooting as it goes, forming a mat of light green leaves
