Just the other day I got into a desk drawer in which are stored some of my plant related papers from over forty years ago. Among these is an order I placed to Zephyr Gardens in July, 1972. I ordered these Tigridia: dugesii, mexicana, meleagris, passiflora, violacea, sp. "La Jolla". An earlier list showed ehrenbergii and vanhouttei. I don't recall what became of them - that was not a settled time in my life.
