What do Tigridia and Anthurium have in common?
Tigridia Tigridia , the peacock flowers, tiger-flowers or shell flowers, is a genus of bulbous or cormous plants, belonging to the family Iridaceae. They have large showy flowers and one species, "Tigridia pavonia", is often cultivated for this. The approximately thirty five species in this family grow in the Western Hemisphere, from Mexico to Chile. The tigridia flower is short lived, each often blooming for only one day, but often several flowers will bloom from the same stalk. Usually they are dormant during the winter dry-season. Its roots are edible and were eaten by the Aztecs of Mexico who called it "cacomitl" and its flower "ocēlōxōchitl" "Jaguar flower". The genus name means "tiger-like" and alludes to the coloration and spotting of the flowers of the type species "Tigridia pavonia".
Hemerocallis fulva Hemerocallis fulva, the orange day-lily, tawny daylily, tiger daylily, fulvous daylily or ditch lily (also railroad daylily, roadside daylily, outhouse lily, and wash-house lily) , is a species of daylily native to Asia. It is very widely grown as an ornamental plant in temperate climates for its showy flowers and ease of cultivation. It is not a true lily in the genus "Lilium", but gets its name from the similarity of the flowers and from the fact that each flower lasts only one day. It is occasionally mistaken for the unrelated true lily known as the "tiger lily", "Lilium lancifolium", which is different in growth habit, floral construction and coloration.
