TIGRIDIA, THE TIGER-SPOTTED FLOWER. 
No flower is more gorgeously coloured than the Tigridia. The petlas are self-coloured, while the petaloid 
stigmas, and the cup of the flower, are superbly tiger-spotted, producing a remarkable contrast between 
the lower, and the upper part of the flower. The individual flower of a 1 igridia lasts one day, but from the 
same scape comes a series of blossoms continually replacing each other, and thus maintaining a succession for a 
long time. Plant March, April, May, or June for late summer and autumn-blooming. each— s. d.
