Slow-growing bulb with clear blue flowers, native to the northwestern US. We grew it from seed a couple of times, and are still waiting for flowers. Luckily, I also got some bulbs, and they bloomed right away the next spring - so I can show you some pictures!

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog About my plant portraits
