I ordered seed of what was named Moraea Iridioides, and what was pictured (attached) that appears to be M. Villosa. Wondering if anyone can speak to this name, origin, etc., or is it a complete farce. I'm including a picture of the seed in case anyone wants to speak to what the seed might appear to be, the seed group is a touch bigger than a quarter. I did find on the web a few people posting Dietes Iridioides as Moraea Iridioides, so I hope I didn't waste time and $ bothering with that...
Unfortunately yes it is a synonym for Dietes iridioides. And the seeds look like those of a Dietes although not quite as angular as I'm used to seeing but definitely not that of Moraea villosa.
Who's the unscrupulous vendor?
AMERICAN SEED STORE! But other people are hawking them on eBay, and Amazon too... I was pretty confident when I saw the seeds, they weren't correct. I'm going to do a chargeback for fraud with my CC company!
