Triteleia - 'Queen Fabiola'
Today's featured flower: Triteleia! These six-pointed purple flowers bloom from late spring to mid-summer. They are easy perennials that grow from small, round corms, and they don't require any special care. Their leaves are grass-like and the flowers on this particular type of Triteleia range from light lavender to a deep bluish purple. You can learn more about Triteleia at Wikipedia's Triteleia page or the Pacific Bulb Society's Triteleia page.
