Moraea gawleri flower cluster

The flowers of Moraea gawleri are sometimes bicoloured as here.

The erect style branches, creamy white in picture, conceal the anthers. The reflexed tepals are a pale cerise with dark vein lines outside the yellow nectar guides on the outer tepals, slightly dark-marked near the base. The inner tepals are narrower, lacking nectar guides and mostly also visible vein lines.

One normally outer tepal has somehow jostled into the inner whorl in picture. This seems to be a (remote) possibility happening to narrow-based or clawed tepals in the wind (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
