to clarify my earlier response: The world of botanical names is confusing: the name is similar to tiger lilies but these aren't tiger lilies. These ones are tiger flowers or tigridia...I have bought them as bulbs and they are very easy to grow... These are a tigridia but I may have been wrong about the lilacea part...the lilacea have a more spotted appearance..... but they certainly are pretty... Tiger lilies have 6 flower petals the same size, not 3 big and 3 small... sorry- this is my science background coming into play
thanks....I would hate for someone to buy some tiger lilies thinking they were getting the tigridia ...but tiger lilies are also very nice and colourful too!!

Beautiful. I believe it is a tigridia lilacea...
I don't know what they are, but they surely are beautiful!
I don't know the name of those flowers but I agree they are colorful and very cheery looking.
I don't know the name of the flower, but it sure is pretty!
I'm loving the idea of zoom in/zoom out ...wonderful to see both ways. And I don't know what this beauty is. When you find out, please let us know!!!
Beautiful flowers, love them.

Thanks for your explanation, Marsha. I probably misunderstood you but I have corrected the name.
