My first tigridia of 2015! Just the one so far.
Interesting to see that the first bloomer is one of my grown-from seed last year. They didn’t bloom last year, they were too young still. These are in pretty terrible recycled buckets and out the back of the house, where the sun probably lasts a bit longer. All my older plants are in proper ceramic pots and out front – and the house faces mostly west. Hmm.
I went back in time (did you hear the “woosh?”) and found that last year, my first post about tigridia was on July 26, 2013 – and last year I started bombarding you with pics on July 17! Very much proves how our wet and dark and windy ‘summer’ has delayed plant growth.
Well, they are here finally. And I’ll enjoy every bloom for the single day I get to see it!

A very lovely bloom! Never have had one of these!
I’m reminded of Trillium, a plant for which I have a personal fondness.

Beautiful plant. Must get me some of these.
Just so you know spiders, I closed down my blog but I’m ok (just got sick of documenting my tragedies). I’ll still be here reading and commenting on your blog…my WP reader is intact so I get updates when you put out a new post. Hugs!
Thank you so much for letting me know – I was surprised and worried to find the blog gone! I understand how you feel about it, though. Thank you for hanging around 🙂
Wow! They’re gorgeous! Love the colours and they look so dainty. Stunning shot of this beauty! 😀
They are so very fragile! Open in the morning, closed and gone by evening. Reminds us how fleeting beauty is and to stop and make time for it!
You said it so well. That is a fact! 😀
