Here's my list. On second thought, here are my lists. The first one lists those yellow-flowered geophytes established in the garden; these are plants which can be relied on in this area. The second list gives five which are not so reliable: I've grown them all, but they eventually disappear. The third list is a dream list: five yellow-flowered geophytes I would very much like to acquire. Tulipa (wild and cultivated) and Narcissus (ditto) have both been omitted; they are here in abundance and there are lots of favorites among them. Here are the five reliable sorts: 1. Eranthis hyemalis; and I mean the western European forms, not the eastern forms sometimes called E. cilicica. 2. Trillium luteum; the name is dubious, but a clump of this pale yellow-flowered sessile Trillium has been here for over thirty years. 3. Hymenocallis Sulphur Queen; not really a garden plant here, although it has survived winters near a wall. 4. Lilium hansonii; one of the few martagon types which does well in this area; this lily has an interesting history which might make a good basis for another thread. 5. Sternbergia lutea in the familiar commercial form. Is this a clone? Does it ever set seed? Here are five not so reliable here: 1. Colchicum luteum: can't seem to decide if it wants to be Pakistani or Indian 2. Fritillaria imperialis Lutea Maxima: almost always rots after blooming 3. Iris danfordiae: good for a few years but eventually goes 4. Iris winogradowii: faints during the summer 5. Sternbergia clusiana: a martyr to bulb fly here Here's the wish list: 1. Hymenocallis amancaes 2. Paramongaia weberbaueri 3. a truly hardy, vigorous yellow-flowered Lycoris 4. a reliably hardy yellow-flowered Bletilla 5. a yellow tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium aka L. tigrinum), if there has ever been such a thing
