Yes Roland, the flowers last only one day. It had one flower yesterday and another today.  It was grown from seed in 1991 and has not set seed or increased, but flowers every year.

A very pretty colour and nice sexy bits to add some "oomph" to the flower.

Roma,

Is it really tiny?  The plants I have of durangense are extremely small flowered, almost to the point of missing them (almost).  Very cute though.  Mine is slowly multiplying, but refuses to set seed.  Some years I seem to get a die out of a bunch of the corms and then it has to build slowly up again.  I think mine was all from a single clone, hence the absence of seed I think.

Paul,

I measured a flower on the Tigridia and it was 5cm across on a stem 16cm high so quite showy for its size.  A fourth flower opened yesterday, all on the same stem.  There is a second corm in the pot but it will not flower this year.  It would be good to get some seed but I think I would need another clone for that.

We've just been sent two lovely photos from Fritz Kummert of plants he has grown from seed.....
He says:
"Dear Maggie, dear Ian,

from SRGC-seed two years ago, I had recenty Tigridia hallbergii ssp. hallbergii (pic 2519) in flower. The flowers are only 25 mm in diameter and very quick pendant. For comparison I add a picture of T. vanhouttei (pic 1946), which I raised about 15 years ago from Sally Walker. The flowers are upright and about 50 mm in  diameter. Both are kept in the alpine house and have withstood -7°C.

Kind regards from Styria

Fritz"

Lovely Tigridia from Fritz. I have T. vanhoutii in the greenhouse from seed sown March 2008 (1 from 13 sown) which may flower in 2011.

If anyone would like some Tigridia pavonia seed (frm my garden) see the "Grow from Seed" thread.

Beautiful.

I grow the vanhouttei, but haven't seen the second one before.  Both excellent!!

To brighten your day, here are a "few" of my T. pavonia reds from last season. This particular clone has been in our family gardens for more than 50 years!

Oh no I don't! Just completed re-potting my summer growing stuff today and my one Tigridia van houtii was mush in the pot. It survived winter 2010 under the greenhouse staging covered with a couple of layers of fleece but has succumbed after the same treatment this year. Surprisingly, apart from a bulb of Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus (also mush) everything else seems to have survived.
