Flowers from late March-[3] April–June-[2] [4] [6] early July. [ 3 ] Though the flowers of C. albus may occasionally be flushed pink, those which are deep rose in colour and are found from the southwest San Francisco Bay to outer south coast ranges may be assignable to C. albus var. rubellus , if recognized taxonomically.
Calochortus flowers have six tepals.Unlike most other Liliaceae, Calochortus tepals are in two series that differ in size and color. [7] The outer three are generally narrower and more sepal-like, while the inner three are larger, usually with bright marks at the base, [8] and are often described as petals. [9]
Crinodendron hookerianum is best grown in fertile, moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil in partial shade (in full sun only if the roots can be kept cool and shaded) in a sheltered woodland garden or against a south- or west-facing wall where it is sheltered from cold, drying winds. It is hardy to -7 °C, but young growth and flower ...
Calochortus amabilis is a bulbous perennial herb producing an upright, somewhat waxy branching stem to heights between 10 and 50 centimeters. [2] The leaf at the base of the stem is flat, waxy, and narrow in shape, reaching up to 50 centimeters long and not withering away at flowering.
The orange/yellow flowers resemble tiny Chinese Lanterns. The orange of the flowers of Sandersonia aurantiaca is, however, more yellow in tone than that of the inflated calyces of Physalis alkekengi (another plant known by the common name Chinese lantern). Of the two plants, Sandersonia is the more resistant to fungal disease. [4]
