Genus: Tigridia

i like it i think its great

Thanks Charlie727.

love the colours-well done :)

thanks Nadia, to be honest it is not strictly a woodland plant, i thrives best in sun, but will do semi shade, but a sheltered spot is good, i call this area in my garden the woodland bed because it is as the base of 3 trees, but because it is south east facing the front and side of it get quite a lot of sun, which opens the scope for what i can grow there. so the good new is you don't need a woodland garden to grow this plant! i got mine off ebay, have a look on there they are quite cheap to buy as bulbs.

super neat, what a gem. I cant wait to have a woodland garden:)

Stunning

Thanks Majeekahead, I've added tiger flowers to my next years wish list :-)

very unusual

this is a Tigridia or Tiger Flower very easy to grow, you can get bulbs in the spring and dispite there apperance they are fully hardy in the UK.

Hello Tasteyg,
This was the first time I planted these. I thought they were daylilies but they bloom all summer. Thanks for the welcome..I'm having a blast.

Hi Gardengnome. Thanks for adding me to your favs :) These flowers are very pretty they remind me of an orchid flower. Welcome to GOY.
