Dear Cheryl,
A beautiful member of the Iris family.   I only know the type "Herberti".
These flowers are bright orange-yellow,the three outer segments with a
central dark purple stripe and whittish in the centre with purple spots.
It is a native of Buenos Ayres [sp?] and its chief characteristic is its
spreading, not reflexed segments which are deeply indented or hallowed out
like a cup.
Slender plant, fleshy corms, plaited leaves, slender stem 1/2 to 2 ft high,
branched at top and producing in succession many flowers which last for
several days - not like the "Tiger Caps" which really only flower for one day.
Hope this description is of some use,
Regards, Gay
