Some cultivated blooms from a few weeks ago: #MoraeaLurida. A really interesting species from this lovely genus of #iridaceae from Africa. They’re so pretty and intricate.

#CalochortusCatalinae grown by #TelosRareBulbs. Don’t ask why it’s in a cage. It knows what it did. Nah, but seriously: #CatalinaMariposaLily is endemic to Southern California and the Channel Islands (e.g. Catalina). Note that the seed capsule is three-sided like Calochortus albus. Bulb grown from seed by #TelosRareBulbs. (Naughty critters and pets like to try to eat my plants so a lot of them are in Plant Jail.) #calochortus #mariposalily #californianativeplants #channelislandsplants #santacatalinamariposalily #rarebulbs #californiaendemicplants (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcyIGs3OO2g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#TecophilaeaCyanocrocus AKA #ChileanBlueCrocus. This particular cultivar is ‘Leichtlinii’. This plant is absolutely stunning and it smells sort of like a freesia. I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by how many blooms it’s put out & it’s been easy to care for. The species was actually thought to be extinct in the wild for many years due to overcollection and habitat destruction but it’s been found in the wild again. This is a bulb grown by #TelosRareBulbs. #tecophilaea #tecophilaeacyanocrocusleichtlinii #tecophilaeaceae #geophytes #bulbs #corms #andeanflora #floraoftheandes #chileanflora #nofilter #alpineplants #monocots (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8cQlmL-aI/?utm_medium=tumblr
