This lovely bloom
that I have seen for several years
here on the California Central Coast
was also growing in the courtyard
of the apartment complex
we just vacated.
Turns out it is
Dietes iridioides,
commonly known as
African iris
or
Fortnight Lily.
I still find it amazing:
pure white petals
with a daub of brilliant yellow
and
the beautiful purple center.
Taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on 1 July 2016.
