Triteleia lemmonae

Hi all,
I have just posted some images of Triteleia lemmonae to the
wiki . It is flowering in my garden at present. I raised it from
seed purchased from Southwest Native Seeds and have grown it
for a number of years , always in a pot until I put some in a
new raised be I constructed last summer. The "in ground" plants
are flowering later than those in pots but are looking much
better and are featured in the images.
Mary Sue wrote the following about T lemmonae in her very
comprehensive article.
"Triteleia lemmonae is a species that is endemic to Arizona where it
grows
in sparse pine woodland at elevations between 5000 and 7000 feet
(1524-2134
meters). It has bright yellow flowers fading purplish with
arrowhead-shaped
anthers."
One of the images illustrates the "arrowheads."
