I grew this from SRGC seedex 2008 - labelled "white Calochortus amoenus".
Well, it's not white, but is it C. amoenus?
cheers

If they are from a white parent they they should be heterozygotic and you can try to self them! 25% of the progeny should then be white. Shouldn't take you more than a few years

Congratulations on growing a beautiful Calochortus. To my eyes, it looks like
C. albus var. rubellus
, distinctive because of the squared off "shoulders" to the blooms as seen in some frits.
C. amoenus
has more evenly rounded or globular flowers. The two species are similar, the Pacific Bulb Society photo galleries show both species within inches of each other on screen with which to compare:

Thanks, Mark,
I have grown Calochortus amoenus before
but I never got C. albus var rubellus to flowering size before but I was a bit suspicious about this one. Completely different plant to the C. albus I'd grown in the past. I wonder if this one needs to be moved as it's in a hot dry bed though there will be some high tree cover in summer.
Roland,
I only managed to get 2 seedlings to survive so I'll wait and see if the other is anything different.
Trond,
if I can get down to that level I'll try the pollinating!
cheers

Well, if you can't bend you certainly can lift the pot (it isnt that big?) on to the table?

the other one was in the ground!
Actually it has already faded - I'll check for seeds soon.

Then you could either dig a hole to sit in or dig out the plant? Or better still - use a brush with a long handle!
Well too late now anyway

Great meadow, Panayoti! I like this effect, though I don't have any grasses locally that stay small- maybe some sedges, but most of those around here are woodland and wetland species...
As for cold climate species, Alplains I think listed one or two at z4, and Beavercreek had (last time I looked) one or more at z3..
