I'm particularly intrigued by the last photo, though. It appears to be misidentified, as I. uniflora is related to or synonymous with I. ruthenica, and should not have a crest or beard. The pictured flower seems to have both, and reminds me of pallida-tectorum crosses. Is that typical of any pseudoregelias?
The one tagged as I. uniflora is obviously I. tigridia. I. ivanovae is closely related and I think could be considered a color form of I. tigridia. The width of the leaves is the only difference other than the flower color. Jim Jim Murrain 8871 NW Brostrom Rd Kansas City, MO 64152-2711 USA Zone 6a |
