Drimia media is a species of Drimia native to South Africa. It is a bulb plant like other Drimia species, such as Drimia platyphylla. It was described in 1799 by Jacq Willid.[1]

Description

It is a bulbular Drimia, with long, rigid leaves, that are cyndricial with pointed tips likely to maximize exposure to the sun and reduce loss of water. Its bulbs about 2 inches across when mature. Multiple leaves grow from each bulb. This plant grows in winter.[2]

Flowers

Its flowers grow on a stalk, and in a loose clump in Autumn. It is brownish on the outside of the tubular petals, and with antlers that are purple or blue.[2]
