Given that it's 12C, grey, raining and thoroughly miserable here today (as it has been for the last three days) this is probably thinking why it's bothered to flower! Well, I suppose since it's also survived our last three winters in the garden it thought it may as well show willing.

Mrs N was heard to say "Oh sod it, I'm putting the heating on". A certain Aberdeen bulb grower will probably have an apoplexy at the thought of that!

Tigridia pavonia.

I couldn't find "it" either
I searched almost three months
but luckily Ray (A friend in Australia)
promised me this
and finally "it" arrived

Still I am happy with "it"

I'm very impressed Roland,
I think the missing meter in your pond  must be getting shorter  ;)
