Dear Linda, Like Nancy, my Dichelostemma ida-maia is just now forming flowering stalks. Last week I thought not many were going to bloom and this week I have quite a few appearing. Actually most of my native bulbs are now blooming or will soon be. Every day a few more open. We've had nice late rain so I still have green leaves on some of these plants, but one weather report says except for a small chance of rain next week our rainy season may be finished until the season starts again some time in the fall.
