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 a number of exquisitely tinted 
flowers on long, 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 K to 3 in. deep and 3 to 
6 in. apart. In cold sections, provide 
winter protection. Bloom in May 
and June.

(Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips)

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 but¬ 
terfly. Flowers are cup-shaped and of 
wonderful colors, many marked with 
dots and pencilings. May and June.
