  • Except that it is spelled TIGRIDIA.

  • Now I feel I'm at school being corrected for my spelling, are you a school teacher by any chance Alan?

    Don't think Alan was being pedantic - it's just that if the poster wanted to find out more about the plant they'd need to put the right spelling into Google

  • Dove is correct. If you look for the wrong name in a reference book you might not find the correct plant. However, Google is clever enough to guess what you really mean.
