Must be one of the most "iris-looking" of all Moraeas!

The Moraea polystachya are still flowering a month later and should continue for awhile yet.
On the weekend I noticed a white one has come into flower - in a little cluster of self-sown seedlings - and one of the other ones also has white buds showing and a third has a flower with paler exterior to the petals,

Great flowering on Moraea macronyx this afternoon! I discovered that one plant had flowers without the brown marks on the yellow "tongue",

Alisdair, it smells even better! ;D
It's a shame the flowers only last a few hours but usually there are new ones each day over a couple of weeks,

I've grown two Moraea bipartita from NZAGS seed one from 2011, shown above, and another from 2008.
The 2008 seems to be twice the size of the 2011!
Today both were in flower so I could photograph them together for comparison,
cheers

That lovely shot of your Moraea spathulata shows how Iris-like these plants can be!

Moraea tripetala is quite variable and apparently will be divided up into separate species or subspecies; this one looks like it'll fit into a subspecies
