Asparagus 'Argenteuil' |
ca$ 2.50 |
 |
| Affectionate called 'the most elegant of all vegetables', this French heirloom doesn't disapoint with its large, 2 cm thick spears. Prolific and produces spears earlier in spring than most varieties. Ultimate variety for white asparagus. Excellent flavour, very tender and loaded with folic acid... |

Calochortus albus
|
ca$ 3.25 |
|
| A stunning early spring blooming species with nodding globe like flowers. Blooms range in colour from ivory (with or without carmine marking) to carmine. Each arching stem can carry up to 10 of these incredibly lovely flowers. Co-evolved with our wet winters and dry summers, so becomes naturally... |

Erythronium oregonum
|
ca$ 3.50 |
|
| Lovely lily with thick mid to dark green leaves with purple-brown mottled markings appear late March to early April. A single white flower is borne on each stem. Simply gorgeous, but the beauty is fleeting as by mid July, the only thing remaining is the tan coloured seed pod to mark the spot. ... |

Erythronium revolutum
|
ca$ 3.50 |
|
| Our native pink flowered species of Fawn lily. The 'deer fawn spot' pattern on the broad fleshy leaves isn't as bold as E. oregonum, but its just as pretty. For cool dappled sites. Our ample spring rains provide all the soil moisture it needs for mid April-early May blooming. Bulblets will self... |

Fritillaria camschatcensis
|
ca$ 4.50 |
|
| Found these beauties during a meadow stroll beside one of the many woodland streams. On hip high sturdy stems clusters of bell like flowers nod in the breeze. Painted near black on the interior, but on the exterior colour varies from pea green streaking to near black depending on the plant. ... |

Fritillaria lanceolata
|
ca$ 3.75 |
|
| Rare lily of the West Coast. The purple bell like flowers are checked with yellow thus giving a chocolate colour from a distance. Scaly bulbs were once a food source hence its other name 'Rice Root'. I don't recommend trying it as this species is becoming increasingly rare in the wild and too... |

Fritillaria meleagris
|
ca$ 2.75 |
|
| Aptly named 'Checkered' for the ivory and purple square pattern of its petals yet its broad shouldered blooms taper to also resemble a snake's head. From thin grey-green stems large single to multiple blooms dangle and from a distance appear to be suspended 20 cm above the ground. Blooms appear... |
 |
Fritillaria recurva
|
ca$ 3.95 |
|
| Vivid scarlet bells suspend from thin stems above a whorl of narrow grey-green foliage. When tilting the nodding blooms upward, one can see the gold checkering within. This is one of the most distinct Fritillarias and a rare jewel. Reaches 60 cm tall. This hummingbird magnet blooms in April and... |

Hyacinthoides hispanica
|
ca$ 2.75 |
|
| A lovely woodland perennial that comes up in early March in our garden. Its large unmarked broad fleshy strap like leaves unfold and by early April gorgeous blue bell flowers hang in loose clusters on sturdy stems that arch with the weight of the blooms. Blooms have a slightly darker blue stripe... |
