Anyone want to cross BEST BET with FEATURE ATTRACTION and send the
seedlings south for survival tests?
INTERPOL has purple based foilage but is a struggle to keep going
in the south. I order it every few years just because I like the flower.
It may bloom occasionally, and then it just vanishes.
I. tigridia and tigridia sold in the catalogs and stores are not
the same. Dykes shows a rhizome with lots of roots, and what I buy as
trigridia is a bulb. Does anybody know how this nomenclature can apply to
two obviously different plants? What is further confusing, on the
packaging information, VanZyverden calls them iris-like plants. Whatever
they are, tigridia blooms are fantastic and particularly welcomed in June
and July when they bloom.
