General Discussion / Calochortus kennedyii
May 16, 2023, 07:27:55 AM
Four of my six my Calochortus kennedyii opened yesterday. 
Some observations on growing them. We had 22 plus inches of rain this season, and they did quite well, growing on a slight slope in fast draining soil, this is a lot of rain for our area. They may be able to take more water than we think if it drains away rapidly. I grow them in terracotta pots set in the ground filled with 1/2 native sandy loam and 1/2 sand, set outside. The pots keep the soil mix contained, keep the bulbs from moving about, I know where they are and are gopher resistant. I know this is a limited sample, but all four plants opened on the same day, while my other Calochortus spread out there blooming over several weeks.

Mystery Bulbs / Bloomeria I D

I have Bloomeira labeled as B. coocea and B. humilis flowering which I cannot tell apart. I have tried keying them with the  Munz and Jepson keys with no success. I know at one time they were considered one species. Any observations on differentiation would be appreciate. Even if they are mislabeled I cannot tell which one they are.
