Here's my C. uniflorus in flower.
From just 3 bulbs I'm counting 20 buds ??  :o

You've done better with yours than I did Luc. I had only one bulb, and only one flower too :(  It's a lovely little species though isn't it?

That one is very pretty Derek, but then, they all are. Fortunately they are quite hardy here so can be grown among other things that act to hold them up as some are quite leggy. Growing through Betula nana or similarly sized shrubby things is a nice way to go. Helps supply the perfect drainage needed, too.

Luc, a good 30cm but doesn't seem to flop as much as some of the other species do. This one came from Buried Treasure (Rannveig Wallis)

As Ian Y's newest BUlblog shows, Calochortus vary tremendously within each species, especially their central markings. As I have C. palmeri, it is pink with a roundish, brownish area in the middle. Mine grows (outside) to about 40cms but as David says, is quite sturdy in the stem.
