Thanks Paige. I think this may be the same project, as they want very
large
numbers and we are contemplating whether or not to pursue growing for
them.
We tried to suggest that they be more flexible with species selection, but
they seemed quite commited to the plant list/spec. We don't want to send
lots of our bulbs up there to rot out in your climate, as it would be a
waste as far as we are concerned. How much rainfall do you receive?

Subject: Fw: [pbs] Dichelostemma capitatum

Hello, Nancy and all. We are in southern BC and have also been
fielding calls about Dichelostemma capitatum. This is one of a number
of plants native to parts south of BC -- mainly California -- that
have been specified for a huge, expensive, flowering-roof project in
Vancouver. Normally there
is little call for D. capitatum here, because our climate doesn't suit it.
Or anyway, that is my experience. Test plots have been set up for this
huge
project, however; I wonder if the specs will be revised.
