Hi all,

I  have  just  posted  some  images  of  Triteleia  lemmonae  to the 
wiki . It  is  flowering in my garden  at  present.  I raised it  from  
seed  purchased  from   Southwest Native  Seeds  and  have  grown it  
for  a  number  of  years  , always  in a  pot until I  put  some  in a 
  new  raised be  I constructed   last  summer. The  "in ground"  plants 
  are  flowering later  than those in pots but  are looking  much  
better and  are featured  in  the  images.

Mary  Sue  wrote the  following  about T  lemmonae in her  very  
comprehensive  article.
"Triteleia lemmonae is a species that is endemic to Arizona where it 
grows
in sparse pine woodland at elevations between 5000 and 7000 feet 
(1524-2134
meters). It has bright yellow flowers fading purplish with 
arrowhead-shaped
anthers."
One of the  images  illustrates  the  "arrowheads."
