Interesting -- the parent plant, which hasn't bloomed for two years is now just beginning a flower spike, while this (I assume seedling, as I never planted it) is just about finished blooming. This may be due to my new watering system which is giving these plants plenty of water. One thing that gets me about the nomenclature: if Dietes is separated from Moraea in the Iridoid branch of the family on the basis of being rhizomatous rather than cormose, why isn't that sufficient to separate Schizostylis from Hesperantha in the Crocoid branch?
