Neomarica
gracilis -- Walking
Iris, Apostle Flower -- An outrageous member of the Iris family; one
of those known as Walking Iris because, once the flower has faded, the
heavy seed pod bends to the ground and starts a new plant. About that
flower: three bright white petals pop open to reveal their inner segments
of electric blue and yellow. The 2" flower is on a pendulous stem that
will reach 3' in length, drooping down and away from rigid, shiny, 2x3'
sword-shaped leaves. Zone 9 or adapts well to indoor culture, either as
a houseplant or in a cool greenhouse. Rumor has it that its spring bloom
is in sync with the lunar phases, but we haven't kept track of this, as
it is hard to see the flower at night. Brazil. |

Nerine filifolia -- While most Nerine species have broad, straplike leaves, Nerine filifolia has leaves that are threadlike and grassy. The plant is also smaller than common species, to about 8", and with smaller flowers, so the effect is much more delicate than that of its larger cousins. The flowers are about 1" across, light pink, and with wavy-margined sepals, produced in autumn. Nearly evergreen where hardy. Zone 8, sun, takes poor, shallow soil, think rock garden. East Cape, South Africa. |
