No flower is more gorgeously coloured than the Tigridia (Ike Tiger-Spotted Flower ). The petals 
are self-coloured, while the petaioid stigmas and the cup of the flower are superbly tiger-spotted, so 
that the contrast between the lower and the upper part of the blossom is most remarkable. The flower 
of the Tigridia lasts only one day, but from the same scape comes a series of blossoms, each succeeding 
the other, and so maintaining the display for a long time ; thus, from a group of plants flowers may 
be had from August to November. The roots may be planted in Mai ch, April, and May ; or for pot 
culture earlier. We have made plantings as late as Midsummer, and we recommend this being 
done, lifting the plants in September % for the purpose of flowering under glass late in Autumn.
