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... |

|
| 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... |

| 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.

| 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.

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

This is one of the most distinct Fritillarias and a rare jewel. Reaches 60 cm tall. This hummingbird magnet blooms in April and... |

| 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... |
