I don't think Gastil's photos show C. biflorus ssp. isauricus (note spelling), because the style of C. biflorus is generally more deep orange than light orange, and it is more deeply divided than what appears in the photos. Also, corms of C. biflorus have a different type of tunic, called "annulate," that is, splitting crosswise near the base into rings of tissue. Jane McGary Portland, Oregon, USA
