Not much blooming in my yard this week, just a Nerine (likely N. bowdenii). But in a park about a mile from here there is a gorgeous bed of blue flowers which It looks like a Moraea, but which species? I took these photos a week ago. Notice the stripes on the seed pods. Close up: http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… The flower bed: http://flickr.com/photos/gastils_garden/… This garden has a labeled map but Im guessing this blue iris-family plant was planted after that map was made because nothing on the map in that spot matches. The Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden has a nice collection of geophytes, but not many blooming this week. I saw Narcissus tazetta just beginning and a field of Oxalis purpurea both the white and purple. - Gastil Santa Barbara, California
