Lachenalia mutabilis flowers

The outer segments of an older Lachenalia mutabilis flower have a faint bluish white colouring, often deeper upon the upper buds and even the upper part of the stalk from which they grow. These short outer segments bulge, rendering the perianth urn-shaped.

The longer, inner perianth segments in picture are yellow and round-tipped with in-curving margins but out-curving lengthwise. There are purplish-brown markings on the outside surfaces of both whorls of tepals or segments, as well as a fainter blotch near the tip on the inside surfaces, at least of the longer segments (Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
