In no. Calif. garden late calochorti in addition to C. plummerae and
weedii is C. obispoensis.Also in July is the last of moraea bloomers. And
the most unique and interesting- moraea vespertina. In past years when
plants were named to help identification they chose vespertina. Why?
Because it blossomed at the time of evening vespers. That is it opens the
time that vespers begin and closes 2 hrs. later when vespers end. If named
now I would call it suppertina. It opens when we begin supper and closes
with a late dessert. Super fugacious but worth checking out at suppertime.
Large white and yellow diaphanous (look it up-I was an english minor)
blossom on tall stickt stems.It is the only fragrant moraea. It ?self seeds
generously and has lasted for years. I will have seeds for the Bx and jf
you miiss it. also privately. .Bob Werra
