What about a primer of primroses ?

It seems to me that many of the other group names are wonderfully
eccentric, yet true, descriptors of the subject, I do wonder how they
arose & became accepted, but I'm eternally thankful that they did. So,
in that vein, & without much thought, how about a competition of
snowdrops, or a declination of lilies, a perk of pansies or an
erection of eremurus? Or if that offends, a titillation of tulips?
Perhaps a lush of lilacs or a snake of arisaemias, a miasma of
orchids, a sunshade of escholtzia, a sniff of datura or, maybe,
Bruggmansia. Etc. Your turn.
