Jim asked, Has anyone out there tried the yellow Delphinium? It qualifies as a >geophyte. [D. zalil/sulphureum] There's an even more geophytic yellow delphinium which is easier to obtain and grow: D. luteum from California. It self-sows happily in my bulb frame though it has not survived our colder winters outdoors. I offered some free, as an experiment, on my bulb list last summer and would be interested to know whether any of them are showing growth yet. Oh, and I would add to Diane Whitehead's list of yellow tuberous anemones, Anemone palmata from the Iberian Peninsula, which should be in every garden in California although it struggles mightily against the winters here. It is easily grown even from stored seed. Nothing is a brighter, purer yellow than the form I have here, but I recently saw a picture of a duller-colored form in the wild.
