Moraea aristata

Another one of the Moraea group (there are over 220 species). It isn't as white as I thought it would be, although it lightens as it sits in the sun. The sepals on this are very thin. Very similar to Moraea villosa.

Thanks! There are both summer and winter species. Once again, this isn't very large - 2"across.
