usually germinating in a weeks time

"calamus" has long been used to treat nervous symptoms

Zantedeschia aethiopica Swartberg Giant Hybrid usually germinating in a weeksAs we headed to the top of South Africa's famed West Cape Swartberg Pass, we stopped at 4,300' elevation when we saw a patch of Zantedeschia aethiopica growing in a wet seep along the steep mountain cliffs.
