I recognize your photo but can't think of the name; possibly T. pulchella or some related species. And I grow T. orph. flava. It's got a rather small flower with points to the petals, and it's a good clear greenish-tinged yellow. The normal form of T. orph. has some reddishness around the edges of the petals. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Z. 7-8, cool Mediterranean climate
