Kat Anderson supplied the bulbs of Tritileia hyacinthinia last winter. We planted them as single bulbs in a bathtub to avoid gopher worries. We are hoping to increase the supply. One important issue here is that Kat could hardly find these Native California bulbs available for purchase in California. She purchased these from Holland. Although I heard yesterday that Mostly Natives in Tomales has them available currently.
In the last couple of weeks the bulbs have been blooming. I am not sure just when to dig them up to harvest the bulbs in order to have more to plant next year. I dug up one the other day in accordance with the directions I have to dig when the bulb is in bloom.
I think you can see in this photo, the cormlets that surround the original bulb. So increase, it did!

Meanwhile, here on the Atlantic Coast, this reforming processed food junkie roasted beets this morning. Plan is to toss with balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil and serve on beet greens - probably tomorrow as dinner this evening will be a lovely spinach salad - just toasted some pecans for garnish - lunch today will be more of my lovely slow-roasted tomatoes and mozzarella on toast.
Sounds delicious, Maria of the Atlantic. I had a great salad at Aquus Cafe in Petaluma last week with pecans, smoked chicken, and dried cranberries. Yum!
