Bartram's ixia in bloom

I had a nice surprise this morning when I toured the garden: Bartram's ixia,
Calydorea coelestina (aka Sphenostigma coelestinum) is in bloom.
Unfortunately, something hungry got to the flower before I did, so there
will not be a photo until the next one opens.

In the meantime, take a look at Lee Poulsen's images on the wiki to see what
the excitement is all about:
