Hesperoxiphion peruvianum |
 |
| | Promising bud in mid-October... |
| 
| | ...Followed a few days later by curious flowers |
|
| | Foliage of second-year plants, early May |
Iris relative indigenous to Peru, with bright yellow flowers. Winter-dormant. We grew seedlings in winter of 2019, and had strong foliage return by late March of the following year. By late summer buds appeared, but I never spotted flowers that year. The following year the buds came later, in October, but this time I didn't miss the short-lived flowers.

| | Flower buds arrived in mid-August 2020 |
