This fantastic bloom springs up seasonally in our friend Dr. Vijayaraghavan Vangal’s lawns at his home<\/font> in Ooty<\/font>. Pic taken & details provided by Dr. Vijayaraghavan. Tigridea pavonia<\/i>, Family-Iridaceae<\/i>. Tiger Flower or Mexican Shell Flower<\/b>.
Details: <\/font>\u00a0‘Grows in slightly acidic soil such as in Ooty. Seen around the same time every year. As one wilts another sprouts from the same place. Not seen more than 2 at the same spot. Summer flower-grows end March-end May. Dormant beneath soil thro’ winter. Survives up to -0.5 –
0 degrees- as seen in Ooty.<\/font> Also grown in New Zealand i believe. Must have come to Ooty thro’ missionaries in early 1800s when Savoy
Hotel, Ooty club, Steepen’s Church came into being. Leaves similar to Kikiu-?-grass. No watering. Comes on it’s own with dew & moisture in
the lawn.’
Which category can it come under? Introduced Wild Flower?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
We have seen few other Iridaceae<\/i> family members.
Certainly a beautiful addition to this family database.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Very beautiful picture …, with great details. Thanks for sharing.<\/div>\n
Have u observed any tuber underneath? Exotic plants that become self-sowned are generally called as ‘run wild’ or garden ‘escape’ or ‘naturalized’.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n
