Thanks,  Mary Sue, for bringing me up to speed on the name of Moraea
sisyrinchium. 

Old habits die hard: the names I used are the ones I've used for nearly a
half century now. In fact, I was aware of the Moraea connection, but I was
not aware that it was the "accepted" name now. 

These fugacious irids are so lovely - but you have to be on your toes to
enjoy them. That is, unless you are a Joe Shaw and have fields of them to
enjoy. 

Later this year I hope to see flowers on Gelasine elongata and Calydorea
xiphioides.
