Our bulbs are all up again this year, too, so we’re continuing to have good results. That’s great you’re growing them from seed. I hope you have good results too.

I just planted a bunch of little allium unifolium plants I grew from bulbs – your results are encouraging!

I never really connected natives and bulbs until Troy at Gardennatives did a blog post on this topic. I’m now suggesting native bulbs to clients in addition to or instead of the much beloved daffodil.

Well blow me down, I thought I was pretty good on natives but had no idea there were native California alliums. I’m not generally a huge allium fan, but these look beautiful.

That looks great! My Triteleia and also the Dichelostemma are both blooming in the new front garden. I’ll be curious how it works out next year. Hope they stay…

Great macro of the Allium falcifolium. It had me drooling like usual. Plenty to love in a small umbel. I want – the one leaf onion. I can think of a number of places to use it. Might be pushing the zone a bit but the color, size and it’s ease of naturalizing are just right.
