The main one I missed was Calochortus albus, but why are they so

bulbs for dry locations.

That's a bulb I've never come across before.
Look interesting

Have you got Gladiolus pulchella, David? There's something about those
- delicacy of colouring probably - that made me think of them when I
looked at the Calochortus.
