Description
Tigridia pavonia will certainly make you take a second look at its flowers. This zany and almost Bohemian bloom is unlike anything you will have seen before. It gives the impression that perhaps one flower dropped in unannounced on another one, like it there and decided to stay for future generations. The top of the Tigridia pavonia (or peacock tiger flower) is like a very colourful cloth made up of dots and ovals placed in the bowl formed at the centre of the underneath three petals. The other three petals are very small and form a trimming on that decorative cloth in the centre bowl. Several of these exotically-patterned Tigridia flowers are produced on each slender stem that will hold the bloom up among long slender concertina-type leaves.
