The wine cup or geissorhiza radians is one of the most unique and fantastic flowers you can find. It is a wild plant found in South Africa and its flowers are only one about 1 inch (2.5cm) wide when fully grown. But what they lack in size, they make up for via their radiant coloring, which features a purple ring around a ruby red center. The red center acts as a 'target', encouraging pollinators to head straight for the heart of the flower.
