Hi all,
I have uploaded a couple of images to the wiki which are
approaching orange in colour.
The first is Tigridia pavonia a self tangerine colour. I
wanted some red T pavonia's so selected some seed from a nice
red flower in a friends garden. From this seed pod I have had
some reds with a pale centre as well as self yellows and this
flower.
Last year I crossed Tigridia pavonia with the plant formerly
known as Rigidella orthantha (now Tigridia) and harvested 2 seeds
which have both germinated. I hope there might be a self red
Tigridia in the offspring.

My flower of Lycoris sanguinea is more burnt orange or apricot
than the blood colour its name suggests.

The cultural discussions on this forum have helped me greatly
with this genus with flowers the obvious reward. I have posted
an image of Lycoris incarnata which together with L sanguinea is
flowering for the first time after quite a few years in my
posession.
