Tigridia vanhoutii

This opened on the 31st of January. So incredibly intricate. Not at all what I was expecting. The flower is about an inch or so wide, but unfortunately only lasts the one day. A second flower has opened today.

It will be interesting to see how long the stem keep flowering for as there is the terminal point, plus two flowering points part way up the stem.

Looks like there should be plenty of flowers over the next while
