My mistake Paul - I was referring to Fermi's setifolia. Still undecided about your papillionacea but looks closer to vegeta. Can I see blue pollen in your picture (through the 'arms')?

Darren,

No, I think that is shading of purple on the styles.  I'll see whether there are any more flowers and have a look at pollen colour for you.  The flowers were so small I didn't take an angled shot, just one form above unfortunately.  I normally take a few different angles of a flower.  I have no idea whether there are any more buds still to come, but I'll try to remember to check tomorrow.

There is a picture of Moraea papillionacea in the latest Pacific Bulb Society Journal (arrived today) and it looks nothing like mine.  Could be a colour form difference, but I am doubtful.  I haven't read the article as yet, but saw the picture when I opened it.
