    Wiki says they are African Oakapple and looking further down the information some of the varieties say South African.

      I was only guessing, but they had a very South African look about them.I think agapanthus are from there too ( could be wrong) and also kaffir lillies, although the latter don’t do well in my dry sandy garden either.
