Hi,

I've added some habitat pictures for Moraea pritzeliana, syn. Gynandriris 
pritzeliana. The display of wild flowers we saw in Calvinia last September 
was one of the most memorable. A couple of these pictures show nature's 
companion planting with this pretty plant. The other interesting aspect of 
this plant are the leaves. It is one of those that has leaves that coil and 
we have a couple of pictures showing this. Not all the plants we saw had 
coiling leaves and they do not seem to be coiled in the  pictures of Bob 
Werra's plants that he is growing in cultivation. I wonder what causes some 
leaves to coil and others not to.
