These might usually be too early for what you meant here, but it 'feels' summery when they bloom end of April/beginning of May.

It's so cool and wet lately, some of the Oxalis crassipes is blooming sparsely again now, although this pic is from May, when it was in full force.

Tried to take a pic of some tall cool Alliums while they were up last month but as tall/see-through as they were, I deleted all of my tries 'cuz all I could notice in the pics was the stuff around/behind. Didn't do justice to what it's like to look at them for real.

Awesome combo Evan! All the beauties behind them peeking through make for gorgeous pics too. I really enjoy seeing your pics over time and seeing your garden's evolution, more and more stunning with each view!

jmorth, it's great seeing the foliage of your blood lily- not at all how I imagined they would look! Reminds me of a birds nest fern more than a bulb plant. Is the leaf veining parallel?

Here's a bulb I received from a bulb swap a few years ago, pretty sure it's Habranthus robustus. It has a similar habit to Zephranthes (although larger in stature), in the way they burst into bloom when watered after a dry period.

Not sure what these are. I had thought they were a species of Habranthus, but I haven't found a match in my searching.

Are you thinking the last 3 pics are Habranthus robustus? I've had it in my head that they were a species of Habranthus, but they look more like a Zephranthes. I read on the Pacific Bulb Society page that Zephs hold their blooms straight up and Habranthus have that tilt at the base of the bloom. That kinda leaves me scratching my head- they are upright, but I do see a slight tilt. They have a lot of yellow showing, and all the pics I've seen of H.robustus don't show a hint of yellow, just the white throat like the first 5 pics. Whatever they are, I do enjoy them a lot- they require little care and bloom in flushes throughout the summer.
