Lovely and tempting website, Lauw. And thank you for the responses to my
questions about tuberose and glad. callianthemus. What species can you
recommend for very hot-summer medit. climates? Native to my plot are
several Brodiaeas, Calochortus superbus, Chlorogalums, and Odontostomum
hartwegii if that is any guide.
