Watsonia

With long, curved flower-tubes, Watsonia flowers are well adapted to being pollinated by sunbirds (with similarly long, curved beaks) in southern Africa. But not here: we have no birds that can fill that niche, and probably few insects, aside from those bees that act as nectar-thieves by biting through the base of the flower.
