This Moraea has relatively large flowers (4-5 cm across). We found hendreds of them blooming in late Sept. when most other plants were drying out.

This flower open only in the afternoon. It was identified as M. fugax although it is very different from another flower in the northern Cape named the same (look at my previous pics).
