Thank you very much Mary Sue, but I'm afraid it just raised our level of confusion! Cameron' s Tritoniopsis ramosa isn't particuarly like ours. On the other hand ours http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2393/… is very like the one in Audrey Moriartys Outeniqua,tsitsikamma&eastern little karoo field guide#2. She's called that one Tritoniopsis ramosa var. unguiculata, does that mean that her painting shows a T.ramosa variant that looks somewhat like T.unguiculata. Or has there been a change of name since her book was published? And heres more confusion, this orange one, seems to us very like the pink Watsonia we asked about before, so for want of a better name, we're calling this one Watsonia galpinii too! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2357/… http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/… Any ideas?
