On one of my many travels I came across Moraea pritzeliana on the arid plains of the Hantam; amazing leaves, pity I missed the flowers...

Wow. What fantastic leaves. Would look good in a pan or trough. Mark's plants are Gynandriris sisyrinchium and came from a garden near Benidorm. I know, because I sent him dozens as part of a greenhouse clear out before we left for NZ. They are definitely not hardy outside. Too damp; too cold.
