Moraea aristata (Blue-eyed Uintjie or Blouooguintjie in Afrikaans) is a critically endangered species of plant in the genus Moraea, that is endemic to the city of Cape Town and is now restricted to the grounds of the Observatory in the Cape Town suburb of Observatory. In spite of its extraordinary rarity in the wild, it can actually easily be cultivated in sunny gardens with sandy or clay soils. * Plants photographed in the grounds of the South African Astronomical Observatory, its last remaining habitat * Detail of inflorescence
