My garden is young, so there are not yet many geophytes blooming at this time of year. One Erythronium californicum "white beauty", planted last fall, came up very early, the first flower opened before the scape was an inch long. It's done already, and the others are just starting to send up their scapes. A notable exception is a nice little drift of hybrid Freesia we inherited when we moved in, mostly white, but with a single plant with striking dark lavender stripes on a pale ground. Yellow blotch at the base. I've had no luck identifying the cultivar, but if anyone wants to take a stab at it, here's a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/badthings/429514526/ Best, Max Oakland CA
