Laura and other So Cal medit gardeners, Desert to Jungle nursery in
the LA area has Urginea maritima, or at least they did last spring
when I bought a pot from them. I also coveted that great stand of
them at the LA Arboretum -- spectacular! Laura has great taste!

>> in july) Urgiunea maritima (very large bulbs with Eremurus like tall
>> spikes in August september), Asphodelus aestivus which to be found
>> every where in the saqndubes in the Camargue. Apart from these sanddunes
>> dwellers there are many other bulbs which support the seasprays without
>> any problem such as
>> Tulbaghia violacea, Narcissus tazetta italicus, Leucojum aestivum
