    This Disa baurii flower gives hints of several colours, while blue predominates. The plant’s Afrikaans vernacular name of bloumoederkappie (blue mother bonnet) provides for this form, although flowers of several other colours are known for this species.

    Flowering happens from spring to autumn, although the flowering season may be shorter in parts of the widespread species distribution, while winter flowers may also be seen (http://orchids.wikia.com; iSpot; www.zimbabweflora.co.zw).
