Tigridia dugesii

Tigridia dugesii is a striking species known for its vibrant, tri-petaled flowers which burst into a tapestry of intense colors during its brief summer bloom. Each brilliant petal features intricate patterning, a spectacle that is as fleeting as it is beautiful, with individual blossoms lasting just a day. Native to select highland regions, tigridia dugesii's bulbous roots empower it to thrive in rocky soils, where it eagerly soaks up the sun's rays.
