Lessaea villosa (note the date)

Trimerous flowers such as irids and amaryllids, galanthus included, occasionally produce dimerous flowers.
I know of several clones of galanthus selected for this trait. Odd rather than beautiful!
There are tetramerous forms too which often spark the beginings of that curious disease galanthophilia.
These things are rarely stable thank goodness.

Hi PBS friends,

Mid-March I found this curious bloom in the Moraea villosa A hybrid
sand plunge basket, with only 2 petals and 2 sepals.

Please note that these photos are real, unaltered, despite today's
date. The flower was real. The species binomial, however, has
everything to do with today's date.
