Calochortus (Globe Tulips) 
Often referred to as Fairy Lanterns; the shape of the flowers and the way they 
hang on the stem suggest the name. Plants are much branched and bear quite 
a number of exquisitely tinted flowers on long, slender, leaf-wrapped stems. 
Globe Tulips are natives of woodlands, so should be planted in any friable soil 
mixed with plenty of leaf-mold. They like some shade but not full shade. Fine 
subjects to naturalize in the rock garden or in shaded woods, but they must have 
perfect drainage. Plant bulbs 2>i' to 3 in. deep and 3 to 6 in. apart. In cold 
sections, provide winter protection. Bloom in May and June.

Calochortus (Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips) 
“Mariposa” means butterfly in Spanish and is applied to these Tulips because 
the “eyes” and markings on the gorgeously colored flowers are so much like those 
on the wings of a butterfly. Flowers are cup-shaped and of wonderful colors, 
many marked with dots and pencilings. May and June. Plant bulbs to 3 in. 
deep and 3 to 6 in. apart. In cold sections provide protection over the winter.
