re: #216 calochortus

Bulb plants are amazing packages of annual/perennial beauty. In warm, sub-tropical climates (e.g. southern California, Israel) you can design a garden exclusively with bulb-type plants and get flowers year around, all of which not only provide beauty outdoors but stand up woonderfully as cut flowers, typically for more than a week, indoors as well.
Here’s a weedy favorite of mine known as Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria).
