DIETES SEEDING
Dietes iridioides (African iris, Cape iris, fortnight lily, Morea iris, wild iris, dietes) is an ornamental plant in the Iridaceae family. D. iridioides has white flowers marked with yellow and violet, with six free tepals that are not joined into a tube at their bases. These flowers last only one day. The seedpods of the plant often bend the stalks down to the ground where they have a better chance of propagating new plants. The seedpods contain numerous large brown seeds and they split open to release them.

Never seen before such type of iris; here,I think that the blue iris blossoms can be seen in late april or at the starting of may ... Lovely views in macro of seeds! A lovely day of autumn!
