Moraea - Part 5


flower appreciates water while growing; in habitat it is found on seasonally watered slopes in tufts of sedges and grasses [Goldblatt] . This species has strong violet blue flowers, set off with yellow nectar guides. Most attractive, flowers from mid November onwards.

  • Moraea elliottii flowers as you see it. This species is pretty variable to height and flowering time, it is all a matter of place with this. It is late spring flowering here in Geelong.
  • Moraea tulbaghensis is between 25-35cm tall.

    Flowers bright orange, with orange yellow nectar guides. This species is easily distinguished by its deep orange flowers with intense peacock green edged nectar guides. Flowers in September.

    This could go on for another six pages, so I'm stopping.

    Please visit the International Bulb Societies Gallery of Bulbs http://www.bulbsociety.com

    Check out first hand the beauty of Moraea, while visiting IBS, stop by and check out the benefits this Society has to offer. Their seed list is great, and it is available for viewing; take a look and enjoy what you could be growing.
