Notholirion thomsonianum, fragrant pale lavender trumpet flowers on tall stems, tolerant of various conditions in the Pacific Coast garden given some drainage 6. Colchicum boissieri, pink, fall-flowering miniature species, corms extend horizontally, plant flat with any visible roots on the underside. Quite hardy. NOTE: In conformity with CITES guidelines, the next two items, Sternbergia spp., cannot be sent outside the US. 7.
