Recently I was corresponding with Panayoti Kelaidis, and he sent me photos of his Calochortus meadow garden... holy moly I want to construct such a garden.  Amongst clumping grasses, he grows lots of Calochortus, here are some but not all the species growing in this meadow garden in Colorado, USA. :o :o

1-2   views of Panayoti's Calochortus meadow garden
3      C. luteus
4-6   various red-flowered C. venustus
7-8   color forms of C. superbus

The Calochortus season has started here!
I thought I'd lost Calochortus uniflorus but it has re-appeared and flowered this year!
249098-0

And Calochortus amabilis is still going strong, fighting through the dianthus and dichelostemma!
249100-1

249102-2

CC suberpus, splendens and argillosus aren't far behind!
cheers
