Orange Jelly Burn Plant (Bulbine frutescens 'Orange'), a member of the lily family, is derived from a native to desert grasslands in South Africa. The name Bulbine comes from the Latin word "bulbus", meaning onion or bulb. This name is misleading, however, because these plants do not have a bulbous base. A clump-forming succulent, it grows to 1.5 feet tall with a 2-foot spread. The leaves are tall, fleshy, green cylinders, similar to the onion leaf blade. The tall spikes of small, star-shaped orange flowers bloom on stalks 2 to 3 feet above the foliage. The plant produces 10 to 12 stalks per individual plant, which bloom continually in mid-spring and again in the fall. In its native habitat it is known as the burn jelly plant, because the fresh leaves produce a jellylike juice that is wonderful for burns, rashes, blisters, insect bites, dry lips, acne, cold sores, and areas of cracked skin.
