Hmmm - this looks alot like C. palmeri. Here's an image from the web: https://calflora.org/cgi-bin/viewphoto.cgi/… This tends to grow in seasonally moist mountain meadows so it might need a particular pattern of winter & spring moisture. I've seen this in habitat(s) have not yet grown this one myself. -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of Mary Sue Ittner via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Sent: Saturday, June 6, 2020 8:12 PM To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Mary Sue Ittner <msittner@mcn.org> Subject: [pbs] Calochortus hybrid Although it has been a fabulous year for most of my bulbs, this has not been true of my Calochortus. The ones I grow have been slowly dwindling, but the ones that are left usually do better in a wet year. The only ones to flower so far have been Calochortus uniflorus, Calochortus catalinae, and Calochortus vestae. That is until today when the attached showed up. I remembered once before having a Calochortus that didn't look like any others I grow so looked through my photos and found it flowered in 2011, but not since. I'll attach it too for comparison. Calochortus fans, what do we think could be its parentage? Kipp, Bob Werra, Mike Mace? Others? It's a much smaller flower than Calochortus vestae that is flowering close to it in my large wooden bed labeled "Mariposa hybrids" which is what Jim Robinett used to call ones he sold that were open pollinated.
