Ellen Hornig wrote "I don't know how often these unspotted forms come up." Let's hope it's a lot more often, Ellen, that one is really beautiful. I don't know how often they come up now, but in the past there was something called the "Immaculata" strain of Tigridia pavonia which had flowers characterized by a lack of spotting. Again, in the past, separate colors were offered. Somewhere among the accumulated ephemera here I have the catalog/folder of an outfit which once grew Tigridia pavonia in the Pacific Northwest back in the 1940s or so - maybe Wilson Brothers or something like that. As I recall, they had fifteen or twenty different named strains or clones of Tigridia in various color combinations.
