Hi Paul, Your plants sound very interesting and significantly deviate from anything I've ever seen before. Do you have pictures? What is the source of your plants? Approximately, when did the foliage die back this year? The foliage on my non-irrigated plants was still green a month ago. The established colonies of bulbs in the Sacramento area (hot dry summers) that I've seen consistently flower in late July into August. Plants in cooler Sonoma County flower much later with the flowering times seemingly correlated with when the foliage dies back. I have never seen a plant in flower before July. Sometimes, I get one of the old names, Scilla maritima, mixed up with Scilla natalensis (Merwilla plumbea) which, in my experience, better fits the flowering time you described. Any possibility of that? I feel compelled to ask because April/May flowering Drimia maritima is really unusual. Does anyone else grow Drimia maritima in California that flower before June?
