are sword-shaped, bluish green in color and up to 
3 feet long. Flower stems are 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Buds are tightly arranged and have a pleasing 
brownish tinge. The whole stem has a shiny, 
varnished-looking appearance until the buds begin 
to show color. The blossoms are about 2 inches 
across, 30 to 40 on a stem, have a typical shape 
and are a brilliant orange in color. Mature stamens 
are a bright violet-purple. 
Blooms from late August through September in 
Santa Barbara. Hardiness not known, but prob- 
ably can be grown out of doors only in milder 
climates. This gives promise of being a very out- 
standing introduction for perennial borders. Corms 
can be moved only while plant is in full bloom and 
must be treated as live plants. They can be planted 
in 4 inch pots and shifted to a permanent location 
as needed. Delivery late summer.
