MEXICAN SHELL FLOWERS — TIGRIDIA 
MEXICAN SHELL FLOWERS 
Delivery February to April 
TIGRIDIAS have often been referred to as the fireworks 
of the garden, for the sudden opening of the flower bud into 
its glorious burst of color is as spectacular as a “‘Roman 
Candle” on a Fourth of July night. The flowers are large and 
come in a wide range of color. The throat is beautifully 
spotted and mottled in red and gold. 
The flower lasts but a day BUT a clump of these bulbs 
well planted in a sunny location will yield bloom all Summer.

may be open each day.
