That's a fine plant. Where is KZN? is that the new territory in Canada? If its a milkweed relative, it might grow here. Do you know of a seed source?

KZN stands for KwaZulu Natal and that is in South Africa. Yes it is a milkweed relative but I doubt it would like the climate here.

Also put a flower close up picture that Maddy took in the Database.

Looking at some photos of the Umtamvuna Nature Reserve just makes me wanna go there for a hike and see this plant (and others for sure:) in person.
