Tigridia pavonia, commonly referred to as the Jewel Flower or Tiger Flower, is an exceptionally ornamental perennial species native to Mexico and valued for its striking floral display. The assorted varieties are particularly prized for their broad and vibrant color spectrum, which typically features intense reds, luminous yellows, warm oranges, and delicate whites. Each flower is uniquely adorned with elaborate markings—an intricate combination of spots, streaks, and banded patterns—that closely resemble the dramatic striping of a tiger. These bold visual contrasts, combined with the plant’s large, short-lived yet spectacular blooms, contribute to its reputation as one of the most visually captivating flowering plants in ornamental horticulture.
