The link I have above shows that I'm growing only one of many varieties, the Sparaxis tricolor. I need to find all the others.
They come in many colors. Here are pictures of the different colors I found in my little yard tour this morning. One of the pictures is very blurry. It is a color I wanted to show. They close up at night so I couldn't do a retake. I'll try to get that one again when the sun is shining. In the meantime you'll at least get a feel for its color.
The last picture is a clump that are growing in the asphalt next to the driveway. As I said, they find places all over to grow. I guess that spot gets the sun they like.

Too pretty, I wish I could grow things.
Very nice pix! A gardener and a photographer! Great work!
I can see why this is your favorite flower. They are SO pretty! For us here still in the throes of winter, it's nice to see some live blooming things. Keep those pictures coming!
P.S. The Pacific Bulb Society would do well to employ you to take their pictures! Even so, I enjoyed looking at their selection.
The snow has finally melted off my vegetable patch. The garden ad in the Santa Fe New Mexican said it's time to plant peas, carrots, and lettuce. I'm not a gambler. I'll wait until May 15.
the wind is blowing so hard here, that if we did have flowers, they would be totally shredded.
I have a headache.
