HYBRID TIGRIDIAS 



The word "tigridia" or tiger flower, 

 would suggest a striped flower, whereas 

 this flower is spotted. The word 

 "leopard" or "panther" would have 

 been more appropriate, and the term 

 "jaguar flower" would have been still 

 more significant, inasmuch as the 

 tigridias come from South America, 

 the home of the jaguar. The specimens 

 here shown are hybrids of a very 

 interesting type.
