During my first year, I was surprised to be greeted by these elegant beauties in the spring, dancing gracefully in the grass, releasing the aroma of spiced chocolate in the breeze.. I didn’t know what they were at the time but they were mesmerising.

Dichopogon Strictus (syn. Anthropodium strictum), commonly known as the chocolate lily, occurs en masse and wild at various sites at the farm, and to sit quietly amongst them in the grass is one of the absolute joys of this world.
