Hi,
I finished adding images to
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
The first one is Moraea herrei. It used to be the only species in the genus
Barnardiella. When it became a Moraea, it got merged into the Moraea
subgroup instead of being a subgroup of one species. It looks more Galaxia
like to me. Picture from Rod Saunders and Silverhill seed.
Moraea inclinata-- Picture from Audrey Cain.
Moraea inconspicua -- We saw this in Namaqualand and it seems aptly named.
I think our close-ups make it look a bit more interesting than it seemed in
person.
Moraea loubseri -- Another photo from Alan Horstmann
Moraea lugubris -- I was excited to see this one in the Darling reserve on
the West Coast. We saw a lot in flower that day, but it was a bit windy at
times.
Moraea lurida -- Audrey Cain is sharing a new photo of a really lurid one.
Mine all look alike in spite of their being grown from a mixed seed batch.
This year the flowers seemed smaller than usual however. Something really
likes the flowers in my garden. Maybe a grasshopper? Earlier I added some
really interesting variations that Cameron McMaster photographed in the wild.

I hope some of you enjoy these pictures.
