Thanks, Dennis. When will you have some bulbs for the bulb exchange? (Just kidding!) My gardener’s concept of Tigridia is shaped by T. pavonia. I took a look at the Tigiridia page on the wiki this morning and was reminded of just how diverse the members of this genus are. It intrigues me that Calochortus, Fritillaria and Tigridia seem in some ways to be mimicking one another. Thanks for these wonderful pictures.
