Notholirion bulbuliferum, blooming 6/19/12:



From NARGS seed, received 1/09.  The plants died after blooming.  They produced a small number of bulb offsets, but tons of seed.

Notholirion is monocarpic.  Nomocharis is perennial.  People often lose Nomocharis after one bloom season, but that's because the plants aren't happy with their growing conditions.

That certainly is a glorious bloom worth waiting for.  How long did you wait, and are all those spikes coming from one bulb?

The Notholirion took about three years from seed to bloom.  There were several bulbs in the clump, with one flowering stalk per bulb.  Seed set was very heavy.  Maybe that's why I didn't get many bulb offsets.  These plants can go dry in summer, but if you want to speed them along, keep them fed and watered all summer long.  I would not be at all surprised if these were found to be related to our Camassia.  Except that the Camassia is a true perennial.
