Late Flowering Bulbs

  
Brodiaea corrina (Syn. Triteleia corrina)

I went out on a limb last fall and purchased two types of late flowering bulbs both rated to zone six. This spring, I have been watching their tender stalks emerge and have been wondering what it was that I had planted, exactly? Today the Calochortus opened its first flower and I was thrilled; not only to discover who it was, but also to find it as beautiful as I imagined.

  3. Hi Michael!
    Both choices are excellent and they made it through the Putney winter...
