Calochortus lily plants are also called such picturesque names as butterfly tulip, mariposa lily, globe tulip, or star tulip. This is a native plant, but seed catalogs and nurseries carry bulbs in their many cultivars. They rise from bulbs and produce a flattened version of a tulip with widespread petals that resemble a butterfly. Fertilize the plants during the growing season with a weak dilution of bulb food. These bulbs should never be too wet or they will rot, so make certain drainage is sufficient for in-ground plants and pots alike.
