Description
A pair of (Dietes, Wood Iris, Fortnight Lily, African Iris, Japanese Iris and Butterfly Iris) along our neighbors walkway. The flowers do not look like lilies but the plant does. The blooms are about 1.5 inches (about 4 cm) wide. This was the only double bloom stem on their 5 plants. They will zoom.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

We call them DIETES, it's more like an Iris, not quite a Lily and I have got them growing in abundance on our land and you cannot kill them ... ;)) and Butterflies love them - some more info below from our own Don Burke (TV presenter & gardener) - enjoy Dana ! BB Common name: Dietes Botanic name: Dietes iridioides Description: A clump-forming, rhizomatous perennial from South Africa. It has dark green, strappy foliage, which grows in fan-like rosettes. In spring it produces white, yellow and mauve, iris-like flowers on tall stems. The flowers are followed by 3-celled capsules containing numerous seeds. Best climate: Dietes grows in most areas of Australia.

Thanks Brigitte, I went back and took a better look. The leaves are much thinner than a lily's leaves. Nice call on your part. Thanks again!!!!

Fabulous capture!

The spots look like butterflies and adds a nice contrast of color - I'm sure they are there to attract pollinators and not for looks but it makes for a very beautiful flower - great capture Dana!!!

I love these little daylilies; I used to have a big stand of these in my garden in California. Lovely capture!

What fabulous flowers, and great recording you share with us. So rare, a little bit like violets, but with more detail. I've never seen them before. Somehow they also look a bit like an Orchid, huh? In one word: "wonderful." Again a lesson learned today, and thanks for sharing and for describe them, Dana. I wish you and Jo a very fine Sunday (at least here it is Sunday afternoon).
