    This Moraea ochroleuca plant with angled stem does not present its flowers facing up as these plants mostly do. From the outside, the cone-shaped cups of the open corollas suggest the orange colouring that is often present inside. These flowers look better than they smell, maybe of interest to some flies.

    The leathery green spathes below the flowers no longer cover the upper pedicel parts of the open flowers.

    The long, narrow leaf is present as usual, maybe two of them (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist).
