Norton.
Your Tigridia is definitely not T. pavonia.  Your plant looks a bit like T. dugesii, but I'm not sure if that species occurs in Peru.

>I have seeds from a Tigridia species that grows in Lima Peru. , that has been classified as Tigridia pavonia. However, I've seen pictures of Tigridia pavonia, originally from Mexico, and believe there are morphological differences.

It has only been reported to grow in "lomas" of Lima, an ecosystem characteristic for being dry for 6 months (summer), and wet & covered by vegetation the other 6 (winter). The leaves start growing in June, the flowers appear from August to October, and seeds can be collected from October to November. Pollinators include flies and Pesis wasps also called Tarantula Hawk.
