    Ixia viridiflora? Check that out, it might be it. It’s so interesting!! That color is amazing

    That turquoise looks totally surreal in nature

  3. Wow! That’s so wild! I thought it was AI, the color is so unreal

    Gorgeous! Sadly it’s now endangered, probably due to people digging the corms out.

  5. iNaturalist uses geography for context when searching for matches. If it’s an uncommon cultivated plant outside of the natural range, iNat is less likely to identify it correctly.

    Turquoise ixia is what I got using “Circle to Search”

    Anyone knows how/where to buy Ixia viridiflora in California? Amazon, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace don’t have a single hit.

    We call this ixia “duck egg” on account of its colour, in Australia.

    Grows from bulbs.
