Candycanes anyone?

The Candycane Sorrel (Oxalis versicolor) is another striking example of the highly interesting South African flora. Once a quite expensive rarity, this amazing species has become commonly available here in Europe since Dutch nurseries have been increasing the stocks.

Put some of the little corms into a pot, and enjoy these uniquely colored flowers some weeks later. It's not a hardy species here, so it has to be grown under frost-free conditions - but it's fairly easy!
