Moraeas

It must be an acquired taste. It would take me a long time
to acquire it.

Wow. Love the simplicity of the 1st one and the colour.

By growing the South African bulbs, I get to garden all year round. No snow days for me! Since most of these flowers only last a single day, my garden seems to change every day and I never know what it will look like tomorrow. I don't have a single rose, so I understand that certain flowers aren't for everyone.

Very dainty looking flowers, I quite like the idea of changes every day, always something to look for...

I like the two bottom ones best - the lemon is such a dainty shade.

Gosh look at the colour of Moraea flaccida. Beautiful! So sad the flowers have such a short life but as you point out they certainly add variety to your garden.

Some cactus flowers do that : flower over night and are dead by morning. My parents used to stay up just to see this . I didn't!!

Stunning pics.. lovely colour of that first flower !

Thanks. The Moraea flaccida has had flowers for the last several days, and another today. They make up in quantity for being short lived.
