psquared Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted May 7, 2007 Thank you all for your compliments. It was worth waiting for the perfect light to peek through the foliage above. I've seen several names for this, even the scientific names: Dietes iridiodes Dieties vegeta Moraea iridiodes. It's variously known as African (white) iris, wild iris, Cape iris, and fortnight lily. It does very well in the warm climates of southern California. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
