Calochortus var. Eldorado. Purdy. The finest strain of C. venustus in cult. It occurs naturally in a wonderfully varied mixture, in color from pure white through pink, to deep glowing reds and through lilac to deep purples. In one locality a few may vary to light yellow. Some of these forms have been named var. pictus for the white form, var. sanguineus for the blood-red. The purple forms are entirely distinct from C. venustus var. purpurascens. Sierran foothills from Eldorado County to the far South. Altogether these plants comprise the loveliest group of the mariposa tulips. CH
