About	Canon PowerShot S1 IS Photographed June 3, 2005 12:23 PM Dietes bicolor (Steud.) Sweet ex Klatt Family: Iridaceae Common names: Yellow Wild Iris or Peacock Flower (English), Uintjie or Poublom (Afrikaans). The genus name "Dietes" is derived from the Greek "dis" which means twice and "etes" which means an associate and is drawing attention to the position of this genus between Moraea and Iris which are its two relatives. The species name "bicolor" means two-coloured. The flowers are about 60 mm in diameter, flat, light yellow with brown markings and are produced on the ends of much branched flower stalks.Flower The flowers only last for one day, but because so many buds are produced the plant is almost always in flower from October until January (spring and summer). The genus Dietes is only found in South Africa and on Lord Howe island between Australia and New Zealand. D. bicolor is found naturally in the Bathurst region of the Eastern Cape in South Africa. An interesting fact about Dietes is that of the six species that are known, five of them occur in the eastern parts of South Africa with one on Lord Howe island namely D. robinsoniana. The most primitive of these (according to molecular analysis) is D. bicolor followed by D. robinsoniana on Lord Howe island. This suggests that D. robinsoniana got to Lord Howe island through dispersal from an African origin, although how this could have happened is at present unknown.
