Plants of the month 1/2020: Brunoniella acaulis and Curculigo ensifolia

In celebration of the New Year we have a double feature this month!

Brunoniella acaulis and Curculigo ensifolia are fairly inconspicuous small plants until their bright flowers emerge. Then they prompt questions: what species is that?

These are often among the first plants to flower after rain. Both species are flowering now, mid-January 2020, at Clevedon, a fortunate location that received very localised rain recently while Townsville remained dry.
