Dear All, I've really enjoyed all the pink flowered favorites people have been listing. I thought I had mine figured out until people starting mentioning things I grow I had forgotten and now I find it impossible to list just five. But since others have been listing more, I guess I'll break my own suggestion: 1. Allium dichlamydeum -- I hadn't thought of Allium until someone else mentioned it, but this one that grows on the rocks overlooking the ocean where I live and does well for me as well I love 2. Calochortus -- There are some light pink forms of Calochortus tolmiei which are just amazing, but I also am very fond of Calochortus amoenus and Calochortus splendens is a nice pink too 3. Gladiolus -- Gladiolus carmineus which is just now starting to peek out of the ground in my yard was the first pink flower to come to mind. It is so welcome this time of the year. But when I looked through my pictures I realized I like G. pappei and G. geardii too, but G. carmineus is probably my favorite pink Gladiolus 4. Oxalis -- This one is so hard because there are so many great pink Oxalis as Liz has mentioned. My favorites: O. bowiei (huge, tall flowers), O. hirta (and the cultivar 'Gothenburg'), O. callosa with its colorful eye, O. glabra (tiny but covered with pink flowers), O. convexula (cool succulent leaves too), and of course O. obtusa which blooms for such a long time 5. Romulea -- One of my favorite genera and two that I grow that are great pinks: R. kombergensis and R. eximia 6. Nerine -- So many of these, both species and hybrids, I'll just stick with the genus 7. Hesperantha -- Lot's of nice pinks, but many are short bloomed. I really love H. latifolia which is a hot pink and a winter bloomer that lasts for weeks 8. Cyclamen -- Hadn't thought of this one either until it was mentioned although Cyclamen get my leaf votes, but I too love some of the flowers so I'll add C. coum and C. pseudibericum Mary Sue Mary Sue Ittner California's North Coast Wet mild winters with occasional frost Dry mild summers
